- Facilitate communication and coordination between project teams and other departments.

**What you'll need to succeed**:

- Minimum of 3 years of experience in project scheduling.
- Strong understanding of operational readiness and/or operations in the mining industry.
- Proficiency in project scheduling tools (e.g., Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project).
- Excellent analytical, organisational, and problem-solving skills.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Detail-oriented and able to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
- Good time management and organisational abilities.

- Ability to pass a pre-employment medical and/or a drug/alcohol screening;
- Full Australian working rights;
- Currently reside in Western Australia, as flights are from Perth.

**What you'll get in return**:

- Perth based, with possible working from home options.
- Monday to Friday.
- 12-month assignment, with permanent opportunities pending performance.
- Attractive hourly rate, with Superannuation paid for all hours worked.
