Job description

New Role Supporting Business Growth Across Victoria's Utility Operations

As UGL continues to grow its Victorian Utilities Operations & Maintenance business, we're introducing a dedicated Scheduler position to strengthen delivery planning and field execution across our expanding portfolio delivering overhead powerline maintenance work.

Reporting to the Senior Planner, you will work closely with supervisors, crew leaders and field teams to coordinate resources, maintain delivery schedules and optimise workforce utilisation across multiple work programs. This role will play a key part in ensuring accurate scheduling, identifying constraints and supporting efficient field delivery.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for transforming work-ready activities into effective delivery programs while balancing resource availability, operational constraints, customer requirements and commercial outcomes.

This is much more than a scheduling role. We're looking for someone who can challenge assumptions, identify constraints, improve processes and proactively seek opportunities to optimise the way work is delivered.

What you’ll be doing

• Develop and maintain schedules using FSM and related systems.
• Coordinate labour, plant and resources to support delivery requirements.
• Work with field teams to ensure scheduling information is accurate and up to date.
• Identify constraints, risks and opportunities to optimise delivery performance.
• Support forecasting, reporting and continuous improvement initiatives.

About You

You are highly organised, detail-oriented and enjoy solving operational challenges in fast-paced environments.

Ideally you will bring:

• Experience within the Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) is highly regarded
• Understanding of permits, access requirements, workforce planning and crew deployment.
• Strong Excel skills and experience working with FSM or ERP systems.
• Experience using Power BI or the ability to develop reporting capabilities.
• The confidence to challenge assumptions, identify issues and recommend solutions.

Candidates from electricity, water, gas, telecommunications, rail or civil infrastructure environments are encouraged to apply, particularly those with experience managing rosters, fatigue requirements, unionised workforces and field-based operations.

Why UGL?

• Company paid salary continuance insurance
• Newly created role supporting a growing Victorian Utilities business.
• Opportunity to improve scheduling processes and reporting capability.
• Close partnership with operational leaders and delivery teams.
• Long-term career opportunities within UGL and the CIMIC Group.
