Lead Project Planner

At Alstom, we understand transport networks and what moves people. From high-speed trains, metros, monorails, and trams, to turnkey systems, services, infrastructure, signalling and digital mobility, we offer our diverse customers the broadest portfolio in the industry. Every day, 80,000 colleagues lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide, connecting cities as we reduce carbon and replace cars.

Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your Project Planning expertise in a new cutting-edge field. You’ll report to the Asset Planning Manager, and work alongside a close-knit team of Planning  and Project Management professionals. You'll play a critical role in ensuring the smooth delivery of several modification projects to our NGR fleet of trains and Depot upgrades. This role has the ability to be based at either our QLD office in Milton, or at our Depot in Wulkuraka. However, you will be required to travel between the two sites from time to time.

We’ll look to you for:

• Developing and updating schedules for multiple projects.
• Compiling and evaluating time-related data from all available sources, effectively communicating the results in various formats.
• Generating effective scenarios to achieve On Time Delivery (OTD) targets.
• Advising the team on time-related contractual disputes.
• Influencing the development and alignment of project stakeholders' schedules.
• Developing and managing documentation for projects and company-wide scheduling processes.

All about you

We value passion and attitude over experience. That’s why we don’t expect you to have every single skill. Instead, we’ve listed some that we think will help you succeed and grow in this role: 

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• The ability to solve complex problems and manage competing priorities in a fast paced environment.
• Experience with planning tools and software, ideally SAP and Primavera P6.
• Significant experience in a similar role as a senior Project Planner.
• Experience in rolling stock design and production (or similar) will be highly regarded.

Things you’ll enjoy

Join us on a life-long transformative journey – the rail industry is here to stay, so you can grow and develop new skills and experiences throughout your career. You’ll also:

• Play a critical role in supporting the safe operation of trains for QLD.
• Have the opportunity to develop your career in global industry leader.
• Receive 18 weeks paid parental leave.
• Have access to a free corporate gym membership.
• Receive free salary continuity insurance.
• Be eligible for additional leave days.
• Have free access to Alstom University (1000’s of courses and learning material).

You don’t need to be a train enthusiast to thrive with us. We guarantee that when you step onto one of our trains with your friends or family, you’ll be proud. If you’re up for the challenge, we’d love to hear from you!
