  • Mentor and support project staff on schedule management best practices, tools, and reporting methodologies
  • Provide schedule assurance and analytical insights to support program governance and review activities
  • Ensure alignment of schedule management practices with relevant Australian and International Standards and Defence frameworks

  • Strong proficiency with scheduling tools such as Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, or similar software
  • Proven experience in risk management and schedule performance analysis
  • In-depth understanding of schedule management methodologies, practices, and standards
  • Knowledge of Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) development principles, including DEF(AUST) 5664 or equivalent
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to provide clear, evidence-based advice to project stakeholders
  • Current NV1 security clearance (mandatory)

You'll be highly regarded if you also bring:

  • Strong understanding of integrated cost, risk, and schedule management frameworks
  • Familiarity with Defence or government reporting requirements, assurance processes, and governance structures
