As a global energy company, we’re committed to providing reliable and affordable energy to help create a better world for everyone.

To make it happen, we work as One Team and ask ourselves, “How can we?” (Even when others say, “We can’t.”)

We’re proud of our history as pioneers, problem-solvers, and pragmatists. And as we strive to achieve our Vision2040, we’ve got our sights set on a culture that is focussed and disciplined to drive value, and entrepreneurial and energised to leave a positive legacy.

The difference isn’t just thinking big – it’s delivering on it too.

As part of the team, you’ll tackle one of the most complex problems of our time. It’s no easy task, but nothing rewarding ever is.

• Review work requests for completeness, scope, and resource requirements.
• Coordinate procurement and materials to support schedule compliance.
• Collaborate with Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain, Shutdowns, and Contractor Partners to optimise maintenance delivery.
• Contribute to continuous improvement in planning processes and work management practices.

What you'll bring

• Knowledge of planning and scheduling processes, tools, and/or logistics coordination.
• Broad oil and gas background with significant operational and engineering experience.
• Five or more years in maintenance activity planning.
• Trade Certificate or Tertiary Qualification in Mechanical, Electrical, or Instrumentation (preferred but not mandatory).
