Job description

IOR might be the greatest Aussie success story you haven’t heard of… yet.

From humble roots in Eromanga, QLD, we’ve been fuelling the furthest corners of Australia for over 40 years. But we think the most exciting journey’s still on the horizon.

Joining IOR means stepping into a role where your work genuinely matters. As our Project Controls Officer, you'll play a key role in supporting the delivery of major infrastructure and network expansion projects across Australia. Working closely with Project Managers, Finance, Procurement, Construction and Property teams, you'll provide the planning, forecasting and reporting that helps keep projects on track and supports informed business decisions. This is an opportunity to contribute to a growing business where you'll have visibility across a diverse portfolio of projects and the chance to influence how we continue to improve our project delivery capability.

About the role

This role is responsible for providing project planning, scheduling, cost control, forecasting and reporting support across IOR's infrastructure project portfolio. You'll work closely with internal and external stakeholders to monitor project performance, identify risks and opportunities, and provide insights that drive successful project outcomes.

• Develop and maintain project schedules, milestones and resource plans across infrastructure projects.
• Monitor project budgets, expenditure, cashflows and forecasts to support effective financial control.
• Prepare project dashboards, KPI reporting and management reports that provide visibility of portfolio performance.
• Support risk, change management and governance processes to ensure projects remain compliant and well controlled.
• Collaborate with Project Managers, contractors, suppliers and internal teams to provide project controls and analytical support.

What you'll bring

You’ll bring strong analytical capabilities, a proactive approach to problem solving and the ability to interpret project data to support decision making. You enjoy working collaboratively, have excellent attention to detail and can confidently manage competing priorities in a project environment. Experience in project controls, planning, scheduling or cost management will position you well for success in this role.

• Experience in project controls, project planning, scheduling, cost control or a similar project delivery environment.
• Strong capability in budgeting, forecasting, financial analysis and project performance reporting.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Project, Primavera P6, Power BI, Excel or similar project controls software.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to work across multiple teams and projects.
• Tertiary qualifications in Project Management, Engineering, Construction Management, Finance, Business or a related discipline.

Approaching each day through our values of Innovation finding solutions, Our Communities serving people, and Reliability getting results, our team is focused on delivering what really matters to our customers. It’s this mindset that drives us forward. We’re about so much more than fuel. We’re about three key things:

• Right Team: It’s the kind of place where you walk in the door and instantly know you belong
• Right Track: We’re going somewhere, and as we get bigger, so do the opportunities to get stuck in and challenge yourself
• Right Now: There’s no dragging feet or endless committees here. We deliver for Australia every single day

You’ll also be rewarded with a range of benefits, including:

• Grow your expertise and career with access to experienced mentors and ongoing training and development opportunities
• Team member and family discounts on fuel (obviously!)
• Work hard, play hard with our Blue Squad social club – trivia nights, barbecues and plenty of laughs!
• Plus salary sacrificing options, retail and health care discounts, Employee Assistance Program, and much more

We provide an equal employment opportunity for all; we see the value in diversity and celebrate individuality. This looks like respectful conversations and a safe workplace where everyone thrives.
