- Own the design of RFDS WA's workforce planning framework. You'll shape it and lead it, not inherit someone else's.
- Help Australia's largest aeromedical service get the right doctors, nurses and pilots to the right base at the right time.
- Lead a small specialist team with plans to grow, and guide the Air Maestro rollout as rostering moves into one unified, planned model.
- Full-time, permanent role at Jandakot with flexible hybrid working, free onsite parking and not-for-profit salary packaging.

About the team
Every aeromedical retrieval depends on a crew being available, rested and trained before the call comes in. Across the largest health jurisdiction in Australia, that takes planning months ahead, not juggling on the day. Reporting to the General Manager, Operations & Performance, you'll lead a small Workforce Planning & Rostering Team that's set to grow. You'll work closely with our Heads of Medical, Nursing and Flying Operations, Talent Acquisition and Data & Analytics to turn workforce data into decisions that keep our services running. Operations & Performance and People & Culture have already laid the groundwork, including a review of aeromedical FTE, so you'll start with a explicit baseline and strong support behind you.

About the role

- Design and implement the RFDS WA Workforce Planning Framework. That means forecasting supply against budgeted FTE at each base and anticipating attrition, leave and training impacts, so we can meet contract obligations, including WACHS Minimum Service Capability.
- Lead the end-to-end roster cycle across our aeromedical workforces, from drafting through unification to release,



in partnership with the operational leaders who approve final rosters.
- Build and grow your team, develop its planning capability, act as the rostering subject matter expert for Air Maestro, and create tools and processes that outlast your involvement.

About you

- Proven experience leading a team, ideally in workforce planning or rostering, in a complex multi-site or multi-workforce operation, with the credibility to influence senior leaders across the business.
- A solid track record in strategic or operational workforce planning, ideally in aviation, health or another safety-critical 24/7 environment.
- Advanced analytical and modelling skills in Excel, and ideally Power BI. You can turn a forecast into a clear recommendation on recruitment, rostering or escalation.
- Practical knowledge of rostering under Enterprise Agreements, including leave, fatigue and training constraints.
