We're building a network of serious Defence schedulers - people who know their way around, and have actually delivered Integrated Master Schedules across acquisition programs.
A team of people we already know, trust, and can call as the work lands.
If you're currently embedded in Defence, supporting a major capability program, or delivering high quality planning and scheduling in industry - we'd like to know.

Complex Defence capability programs operating within the One Defence Capability System (ODCS).

Senior and Master-level practitioners will also be expected to lead schedule integration across multiple projects, provide strategic scheduling advice to Program Directors, and conduct assurance activities.

Active security clearanceDemonstrated delivery within Defence or construction and resource sectorsSolid working knowledge of the One Defence Capability System (ODCS)Experience across acquisition lifecycle stagesProficiency in scheduling tools and artefacts (Primavera P6, OPP or MS Project)Comfortable operating in governance-heavy environments without losing momentum
Why Modulus Solutions?
We're not a tick-and-flick recruiter.
We're a cleared scheduling capability built on people who actually deliver - and we're selective about who sits in that network.
We want schedulers who lead from the front.
Who challenge assumptions, influence stakeholders, and treat schedule integrity as a professional standard, not a checkbox.
If that's you, you'll fit right in.
In return, you get access to meaningful work on complex programs, rates that reflect the level of the work, and a network of seasoned Defence professionals who've been delivering acquisition outcomes for decades.
No fluff.
Just good work with people who know what they're doing.
