What will you be doing? 

As our Planning Supervisor you'll provide day‑to‑day leadership, coaching, and direction to Planning Coordinators, fostering high performance, consistency, and strong ownership of their geographic areas. You will ensure alignment in planning standards, documentation, and processes while managing workload allocation to maintain balanced coverage, resilience, and efficiency across all workstreams. With end‑to‑end oversight of planning performance, you will also act as the escalation point for complex or high‑risk issues, ensuring jobs progress smoothly from creation to completion and that plans support operational, resource, and commercial objectives.

A key part of the role involves driving planning and scheduling excellence. You'll monitor daily and weekly schedules to optimise planned value, travel time, crew productivity, and key delivery milestones. You'll challenge and approve final schedules, collaborating closely with Field Managers and operational leaders to refine crew allocation and sequencing. Commercial performance is central, with responsibility for tracking job value, aborted visits, overruns, reinstatement costs, and permit fines, ensuring planning decisions protect operational efficiency and commercial outcomes.

You'll also oversee Streetworks compliance, ensure notices are raised on time, and lead continuous improvement initiatives. Alongside this, you’ll maintain strong customer and stakeholder relationships, ensuring timely communication and effective escalation management across operations, customer service, and external partners.

What you'll bring

• Proven experience in planning, scheduling, or operational leadership within utilities, highways, construction, or field-based services.
• Strong understanding of Streetworks (NRSWA) processes and work management systems.
• Previous team leadership or supervisory experience is strongly preferred.
• Proficiency in planning software, work order management systems, and Streetworks permitting platforms.
• Ability to interpret operational data and apply it to decision-making and performance improvement.
• Excellent problem-solving capabilities especially under pressure or when plans must change rapidly.
• Clear and persuasive communicator, able to work effectively with planners, field teams, managers, and customers.
• Highly organised with a structured, disciplined approach to process management.
• Consistently accurate, efficient schedules that optimise productivity and minimise downtime.
