The Maintenance Planner is responsible for preparing and coordinating maintenance work across UGL operations in Australia. Requirements typically include experience in maintenance planning or scheduling, preferably in rail, resources, utilities, energy, or other industrial environments; strong knowledge of work management systems such as SAP; and an understanding of preventive and corrective maintenance practices. The role is expected to develop job plans, estimate labour, materials and equipment, coordinate shutdown or access requirements, maintain schedules, and work closely with supervisors, tradespeople, operations and procurement teams. Candidates should be organised, safety-focused, commercially aware and able to manage changing priorities while keeping accurate records. Relevant technical qualifications and strong communication skills are advantageous.
UGL is a major Australian engineering, construction and asset services company and part of the CIMIC Group. It delivers projects and long-term operational support across transport, rail, utilities, energy, resources, water, defence and industrial facilities. The company provides engineering, construction, commissioning, maintenance and asset-management services, often working with public-sector clients and large private operators. UGL employs a large, geographically diverse workforce and supports both major project delivery and ongoing infrastructure operations. Its maintenance teams focus on keeping critical assets safe, reliable and productive through planned maintenance, technical support, refurbishment and improvement programs. The company generally promotes safety, inclusion, teamwork, professional development and practical innovation. Working conditions vary by project and may involve metropolitan locations, regional sites, travel, shutdowns or rostered arrangements.
Australia offers maintenance-planning opportunities in rail, mining, energy, utilities, defence, manufacturing and public infrastructure, with strong demand in major cities and regional areas. Workplace culture is generally practical, safety-conscious and relatively informal, with emphasis on teamwork, direct communication and work-life balance. Lifestyle ranges from coastal city living in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide to quieter regional communities; housing and transport costs vary considerably. Skilled applicants may need an employer-sponsored visa, such as the Temporary Skill Shortage or Skills in Demand pathway, while eligible professionals may qualify for independent or state-nominated skilled migration. Requirements depend on occupation, qualifications, experience, English ability and health and character checks. Before relocating, compare salary with housing costs, confirm roster and travel arrangements, check recognition of qualifications, and budget for private health cover, transport and initial accommodation. Australia is geographically large, so regional roles can involve significant travel.
