Planner

About the Role

As a Maintenance Planner at the Cowal Gold Operation, you will play a critical role in converting asset management strategies into executable maintenance plans that support safe, reliable, and efficient operations. Reporting to the Supervisor – Planning, this role works closely with reliability, maintenance execution, mining and processing teams to ensure work is properly prioritised, resourced, and ready for execution.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing and maintaining weekly and daily maintenance plans and schedules using Pronto CMMS
• Translating approved maintenance strategies and asset priorities into executable work plans
• Integrating operational constraints, labour availability, and the Major Events Calendar into short‑term planning
• Applying risk based prioritisation to balance preventive, corrective, and emergent work
• Ensuring work readiness, including scope clarity, permits, isolations, parts, and tooling
• Supporting schedule execution and managing emergent work and short-term changes
• Maintaining high quality planning data to support reporting, backlog management, and decision making
• Collaborating with reliability and asset management functions to drive continuous improvement
  
  

This is a high impact role with strong exposure to shutdowns, major events, and asset performance outcomes, offering an opportunity to influence safety, risk, and production continuity at a long life operation.

About You

You are a structured, detail oriented maintenance professional with strong planning capability and a proactive, risk based mindset. You enjoy working across disciplines and engaging with stakeholders to solve problems, improve work quality, and lift asset performance.

You will bring:

• A trade or technical qualification in a relevant discipline (mandatory)
• 3 - 5+ year’s experience in maintenance planning, reliability, or maintenance roles within mining or heavy industry
• Strong working knowledge of CMMS systems, ideally Pronto (SAP or Maximo also considered)
• A solid understanding of maintenance planning principles, work readiness, and scheduling
• The ability to prioritise work using asset criticality, safety risk, and production impact
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and maintenance reporting tools
• A continuous improvement mindset aligned to safety, excellence, accountability, and respect
  
  

Candidates from other heavy industries such as oil & gas, utilities, manufacturing, or processing are encouraged to apply, particularly those transitioning from supervisory, reliability, or execution roles into planning.
