We pride ourselves on our ability to quickly understand business challenges, develop actionable plans, and execute them to deliver measurable results for our clients.

About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Shutdown Planner to join our growing project team working across a broader shutdown management program for a remote coal mine in QLD. You’ll play a key role in ensuring effective planning and coordination of shutdown activities, supporting safe, timely, and cost-effective execution. This is a FIFO position from Brisbane on a 9-day fortnight roster (5/2/4/3), ideal for professionals looking for a consistent rhythm and time off. The initial engagement is for 6 months, with the potential for extension based on project needs and performance.

Key Responsibilities

• In this role, you’ll be responsible for developing, updating, and maintaining detailed shutdown schedules.
• You’ll coordinate with site maintenance, engineering, and operations teams to gather inputs for planning.
• Support the execution team during shutdowns by monitoring progress and making adjustments as needed.
• You’ll identify and mitigate risks that could impact timing or delivery, contribute to shutdown readiness reviews, and assist with post-shutdown evaluations.
• Regular reporting on progress, issues, and critical path impacts will also form part of your role.

Qualifications & Experience

To succeed in this role, you’ll need proven experience in shutdown planning within the mining or heavy industry sector - coal experience is ideal. You should be proficient in scheduling tools, and have a solid understanding of shutdown processes, timelines, and resource management. Strong communication and coordination skills are essential, as is the ability to work effectively with multi-disciplinary teams in remote site environments. A trade or engineering background will be highly regarded.

Why Apply?

This is an excellent opportunity to start immediately on a high-impact project and join a supportive and experienced team as part of a larger shutdown program. You’ll benefit from a consistent FIFO roster from Brisbane, the possibility of contract extension, and the chance to work for a values-driven business focused on delivering real outcomes.
