Your future role

We have an exciting opportunity available for a Fleet Maintenance Planner to join our team responsible for the maintenance of the Gold Coast Light Rail fleet.

• Attending the weekly sync meeting with our Customer to coordinate the fleet movements and schedule test runs.
• Providing various reporting to our Customer and Alstom leadership.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• The ability and maturity to liaise directly with our Customer and coordinate suppliers.
• A high level of IT literacy, including the ability to Microsoft Excel and SAP effectively.
• Experience within Fleet/Maintenance Planning, ideally within a similar operational environment.
• A technical (Trade/Engineering) background will be highly regarded, but not essential.
