Scheduler / Planner

If you know what it takes to scope, price, and plan a heavy equipment rebuild properly, this is an opportunity to own the process from tender through to workshop delivery.

Our client is an established heavy equipment rebuild and engineering business looking for an experienced Scheduler / Planner to join its Singleton operation.

This is not simply a scheduling role.

You will work across the full front end of component and machine rebuilds: developing scopes, estimating and pricing tenders, building the rebuild plan and then translating successful work into something the workshop can actually deliver.

The role

You will take responsibility for developing accurate rebuild scopes and pricing, preparing estimates and job costings, and building the schedules, parts requirements and planning information needed to execute the work.

Once a tender is successful, you'll help take it from a commercial submission into workshop delivery, coordinating the moving pieces across parts, labour, suppliers and external services.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing component and machine rebuild scopes and tender pricing
• Preparing estimates, quotations, job costings and commercial submissions
• Developing machine rebuild and component overhaul schedules
• Creating standardised rebuild packs for workshop delivery
• Coordinating parts procurement, supplier bookings and project requirements
• Managing multiple tenders and rebuild projects at different stages
• Monitoring parts availability, backorders and supplier lead times
• Identifying scheduling conflicts, resource constraints and potential delays
• Maintaining accurate pricing, master data and planning information
• Working closely with workshop supervisors and management to keep projects on track
• Contributing to improvements in estimating, planning systems and rebuild processes

What we're looking for

We're particularly interested in people who have developed their experience within a Caterpillar mining equipment or dealer environment and understand the realities of machine and component rebuild work.

You may currently be working as a Planner, Scheduler, Estimator, Rebuild Planner or in another technical role that has given you genuine exposure to this work.

What matters is that you can demonstrate experience across:

• Heavy equipment, mining, machine rebuild or component overhaul
• Rebuild scoping, tender pricing and job costing
• Workshop planning and scheduling
• Parts ordering and supplier coordination
• Managing multiple concurrent tenders and rebuild projects

A trade background in Diesel Fitting, Mechanical Fitting or similar is preferred, but not essential. Microsoft Project and strong Excel capability will be highly regarded.

More than keeping a schedule updated

This role needs someone who understands why the job has been scoped and planned a particular way, not someone who simply enters dates into a planning system.

You'll be expected to own the accuracy of your estimates and the integrity of your schedules, raise problems early, and work comfortably across workshop, management, customer, and supplier relationships.

You'll also have the opportunity to contribute to how the business approaches rebuild planning, including improving systems, master data, standard work and estimating processes.

If your background combines CAT equipment knowledge, rebuild experience, estimating and workshop planning, we'd like to hear from you.
