Why this role matters
At Bowhill Engineering, we’re delivering some of the most complex and meaningful infrastructure projects in Australia. But as our project pipeline grows, so too does the challenge of coordinating production and project timelines with absolute clarity and confidence.
Right now, we’re juggling multiple high-value jobs across a busy workshop — with limited visibility over what’s happening right now, what’s coming next, and how best to resource it. We need a sharp, proactive thinker who can bring structure, accuracy and foresight to our planning processes.
That’s where you come in.
As our new Program & Scheduling Coordinator, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how work flows through our business — aligning planning systems, real-time data, and people on the ground to ensure every project is delivered on time, with less waste and fewer surprises.
If you’re looking to drive real change, improve efficiency, and help a regional engineering business thrive at a national scale — this is your moment.
