Senior Scheduler - Thermal

Company: Snowy Hydro Pty Ltd Location: Adelaide SA Work type: Full-time Work setting: Onsite

Snowy Hydro is a robust, integrated energy enterprise that has reliably supplied Australia with on-demand energy for numerous generations. The company manages a substantial portfolio of generation assets, including the significant Snowy Mountains Scheme, gas and diesel power stations, and contracted wind and solar facilities. Furthermore, Snowy Hydro provides electricity and gas to approximately 1.5 million retail customers through its retail brands, Red Energy and Lumo Energy.

A full-time opportunity is available for a Senior Scheduler - Thermal (Gas & Diesel regions) to join the Planning and Performance team within the Operations stream.

Job Description:

As a Senior Scheduler - Thermal, your role will involve constructing, maintaining, and actively managing a singular, unified schedule encompassing the Gas & Diesel regions within Snowy's Generation portfolio. You will serve as the central point of coordination, integrating contributions from Planning & Performance, Operations & Maintenance, Project Delivery, GenOps, and Access. This will ensure that emergent work is optimally sequenced in alignment with operational priorities. Ultimately, your efforts will contribute to establishing a single source of truth for all scheduled activities, facilitating informed, portfolio-wide decision-making.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain a detailed, single coordinated schedule covering maintenance, projects, overhauls, and break-in work, ensuring all incoming work is fully defined and ready for execution.
• Determine the optimal timing and sequencing of work, taking into account asset availability, outage windows, and resource constraints, while balancing competing demands to optimise portfolio outcomes.
• Integrate key inputs from O&M, Project Delivery, GenOps, and Access, identifying and managing cross-functional dependencies across assets and teams.
• Proactively adjust the schedule in response to emergent work, delays, or changing operational conditions, maintaining strict alignment with GenOps real-time requirements.
• Monitor schedule performance (adherence, stability, conflicts) and identify trends to improve planning and scheduling practices across the portfolio.

About the Location:

This permanent role offers considerable geographic flexibility, with the option to be based at any of our key locations: South Australia, Laverton, Valley Power, Hunter, or Colongra. As this position is vital for achieving outcomes across all Gas & Diesel regions, regular travel between these sites will be necessary. This position operates on a standard Monday to Friday roster with flexible working arrangements, requiring a minimum of three days per week in the office or on-site, with the opportunity to work two days from home. The final details will be determined with the successful candidate.

About You:

• You possess a relevant trade, technical qualification, or tertiary qualification (Engineering, Business, or similar).
• You have strong experience in planning, scheduling, maintenance, operations, or project delivery within an asset-intensive environment.
• You have a solid understanding of scheduling principles (dependencies, sequencing, resource constraints) and familiarity with systems such as Primavera P6, MS Project, POL, Ellipse, or OMS.
• You have excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and coordinate the resolution of schedule clashes, overlaps, and inefficiencies.
• You have strong attention to detail and the ability to interpret work plans, translating them into accurate, executable schedules.
• You are an effective communicator capable of coordinating across multiple stakeholders and responding adaptively to changing conditions.
• You are committed to a proactive safety culture and treat all workplace relationships as true partnerships to meet shared objectives.
• You have an understanding of operational environments and constraints (desirable).
