Job description

About the role

Ampol is recruiting a newly created Project Scheduler & Controls Specialist role supporting a large, complex EV infrastructure portfolio across ANZ. This is a permanent, full‑time opportunity which can be located in Sydney, Brisbane or Melbourne.

This role sits at the heart of project delivery, ensuring data integrity, consistency, and visibility across more than 100 concurrent projects. Rather than building detailed schedules, you will act as a critical partner to Deployment Managers, maintaining accurate project data, strengthening reporting, and identifying risks and delays to support effective decision‑making.

Key responsibilities

• Partner with Deployment Managers to ensure project data is accurate, current, and aligned.
• Maintain project records, timelines, and reporting consistency across the portfolio.
• Review and validate monthly reporting cycles to ensure data integrity and reliability.
• Identify risks, delays, dependencies, and bottlenecks across projects.
• Provide clear insights on project performance and areas requiring intervention.
• Proactively follow up with stakeholders to drive accountability and data accuracy.
• Support alignment to standard templates, milestones, and deployment phases.
• Contribute to structured monthly checkpoints, including progress tracking and forecasting inputs.

Qualifications & experience

• 3–5 years’ experience in project or program support within infrastructure, construction, or digital environments.
• Exposure to multi-project environments with an understanding of timelines, dependencies, and delivery phases.
• Strong attention to detail with a focus on data accuracy and reporting quality.
• Confident working with waterfall‑style project management approaches.
• Experience with project management software, such as Microsoft Project.
• Proactive, hands‑on, and comfortable engaging stakeholders to drive outcomes.
• Ability to identify inconsistencies, risks, and gaps in project data.
• Tertiary qualification in Engineering, Construction Management, or similar is desirable but not essential.

Benefits

• Competitive remuneration, including base salary, car allowance, company performance incentive, employee share offers and a 25% discount on fuel for two privately used cars.
• Hybrid work model – flexible remote and office balance.
• Support for up to 3 months remote international working (conditional to 5 days paid leave for every 30 days of remote work).
• Internal recognition platform amplifying achievements.
• Career development and learning opportunities, including LinkedIn Learning and other tailored training solutions.
• Baby Care Package – financial and flexible support for parents transitioning back to work.
• Novated Lease options available.
• Employee Share Scheme.
• Flexible leave options, including annual leave, wellbeing and bonus days, and optional additional purchased leave.
• Community engagement – one paid day a year volunteering with an Ampol Foundation partner.
