We are seeking an agile, results driven Planning & Scheduling Manager with strong integrated planning and master scheduling experience to join our Project Delivery Management (PDM) team.

About Us

At Power and Water, we believe in innovation, collaboration, and pushing the boundaries of project excellence. Our PDM team is at the forefront of driving strategic initiatives and ensuring successful project outcomes. It’s not just what we do, but how we do it.

We aim to protect and reduce impact to the sacred land and waterways of the Territory as we operate across a geographic area of 1.3 million square kilometres. We work within a range of diverse environmental conditions providing electricity transmission and distribution, as well as water and wastewater services throughout the region, including remote Aboriginal communities and outstations.

Your New Role: Project Delivery Planning Manager The Project Delivery Planning Manager will lead the development, integration, governance and maintenance of planning and scheduling across PDM projects and programs. The role provides clear visibility of delivery sequencing, dependencies, constraints, milestones and resource demand to support effective resource allocation and informed operational and strategic decision making.





Beyond technical scheduling, this role requires a solid leader who can align resources across competing priorities, interpret constraints and facilitate senior planning conversations. You will work closely with project and program managers, delivery teams, senior leaders and enterprise planning functions to improve schedule health, address bottlenecks and support coordinated delivery.

We are looking for someone with proven experience leading planning and scheduling across multiple projects or programs. The ideal candidate can translate schedule data into actionable insights, mentor others in planning practices and contribute confidently in senior forums where delivery risk, competing priorities and resource planning are discussed.

The key responsibilities of this role include:

- Develop, maintain and govern the integrated PDM master schedule by consolidating project and program schedules and providing visibility of dependencies, sequencing, milestones, constraints and resource alignment.
- Monitor workflow, dependencies and resource levelling, identify cross project risks and prioritise delivery tasks, including forward planning for contracts, internal and external labour, land tenure and delivery models.
- Work closely with project and program managers and other PDM staff to optimise resource allocation across competing initiatives, ensuring constraints are identified and addressed.
- Monitor schedule issues across PDM projects and programs, assess impacts on budget, resources and scope, and ensure timely updates to project, program and integrated schedules.
- Monitor project and program schedule risks, assess cross project impacts and develop coordinated mitigation strategies with relevant PDM project controls functions.
- Support project and program managers to establish and monitor defensible schedule baselines and milestones, identifying and addressing variances early to maintain delivery performance.




- Identify schedule and contract bundling opportunities across the PDM program of work to minimise disruption and improve cost efficiency.
- Provide integrated PDM schedule, resource, dependency and delivery information to the Enterprise Portfolio Manager and Enterprise Project Management Office to support enterprise prioritisation, governance and reporting.

What You Will Bring to the Team

- More than 5 years demonstrated experience in integrated planning, master scheduling, schedule integration, resource planning and dependency management.
- Experience working with delivery, estimating and operations to establish defensible schedule baselines.
- Comprehensive knowledge of project and program lifecycles, planning, scheduling and reporting requirements, including schedule variance and critical path analysis.
- Strong capability in using schedule data to inform resource levelling, risk and delivery sequencing decisions.
- Senior level leadership, technical, analytical and stakeholder management skills, with demonstrated experience leading a team to achieve business outcomes.
- Extensive experience using Oracle Primavera, Microsoft Project or similar scheduling software.

What We Offer

- Innovative Environment: Join a culture that thrives on creativity and embraces new ideas.
- Career Growth: Take your career to new heights with opportunities for advancement and professional development.
