Description

Planner – Utilities O&M - Line Maintenance & Outages Supporting field crews across Powercor and AusNet networks UGL is a leading provider of essential services that keep communities connected and powered. Within Utilities O&M, we deliver ongoing operations and maintenance services across critical electrical networks and infrastructure. Safety, reliability and teamwork underpin everything we do, and we are proud to support a strong, union-backed blue‑collar workforce operating under an Enterprise Agreement. We are looking for a Planner to join our Utilities O&M team in Tullamarine. This is a hands‑on, blue‑collar EA role, ideal for someone coming out of a field‑based trade or supervisory position who is ready for the next step, without losing touch with site. This role sits at the heart of our delivery teams. This role plans the work on the network, fault jobs, outages and planned maintenance on overhead lines for Powercor and AusNet. You’ll be working closely with line crews and supervisors, making sure jobs are set up right so crews can get on with the work safely and efficiently. Why this role Long‑term, secure work on Powercor and AusNet contracts supporting overhead line maintenance and outages EA role with strong conditions, 9‑day fortnight, structured pay levels and union support. Career progression without leaving the tools behind, stay connected to site and the workforce. Improve how work is planned and handed over so crews can work safely and without delays Join a team where planning supports the crews, not just paperwork in the office. About the role In this role, you’ll plan and line up fault jobs, outages and planned maintenance so crews can get on with the work safely and without delays. You’ll build job packs, organise access, people and gear, and keep schedules realistic and up to date. The way you set jobs up will directly support supervisors and crews, helping reduce downtime and keep customers switched on. Key responsibilities Plan and line up fault jobs, outages and planned works so crews are used properly and the work flows. Put together clear job packs with the right safety info, permits, access and materials. Arrange people, plant, gear and contractors so crews aren’t held up. Sort network access and stay in close contact with supervisors, lineys and other stakeholders. Keep schedules on track and close jobs out properly, making sure all paperwork and records are done.

About you You’ve come up through the field – on the tools, leading a crew or supervising jobs – and you know what it takes to get work done safely and properly. You’re organised, practical, and comfortable working with both site crews and systems in the office. Experience working in electrical networks or utilities, with a solid understanding of overhead line work and outages. Planning or scheduling experience beneficial, but real‑world site knowledge and credibility with crews is more important. A next step for someone looking to move into planning without stepping away from the field, within a stable, union‑backed Utilities O&M environment.
