Maintenance Planning 
& Delivery Lead

Lead. Improve. Deliver 
Northport is looking for an experienced maintenance leader to take our maintenance planning and delivery to the next level.

This is an opportunity to lead and coordinate our mechanical, electrical, facilities maintenance and grounds functions, while driving the implementation and ongoing development of our Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS).

Working across a busy commercial port environment, you’ll bring structure, forward planning and continuous improvement to the way we maintain our assets. You’ll have real scope to strengthen asset reliability, improve maintenance performance and build a more proactive, data-driven maintenance culture.
 

What you'll be doing

  • Lead the implementation and ongoing development of Northport’s CMMS, establishing effective systems, processes and reporting.
  • Develop and drive disciplined maintenance planning and scheduling, from daily work programmes through to longer-term preventative maintenance.
  • Lead and coordinate maintenance teams, internal trades and specialist contractors.
  • Improve asset reliability through preventative maintenance, performance monitoring and analysis of maintenance trends.
  • Coordinate resources, materials, equipment and critical spares to ensure work is delivered efficiently.
  • Monitor maintenance performance, address backlogs and drive continuous improvement.
  • Champion safe working practices and ensure maintenance activities meet relevant statutory and operational requirements.
     

What you'll bring

You’ll be an organised, practical and solutions-focused leader who can bring people, systems and processes together to deliver results.

 

Desirable Skills

  • Experience in maintenance planning, scheduling and team leadership within a port, marine, industrial, infrastructure or similar operational environment.
  • Experience using a CMMS, with the ability to improve its functionality, data quality and day-to-day adoption.
  • Strong coordination and prioritisation skills, with the confidence to balance planned maintenance against changing operational demands.
  • A continuous improvement mindset and the ability to use data to drive better decisions.
  • A strong commitment to safety, accountability and high-quality work.
  • A relevant trade, tertiary or planning qualification, or equivalent professional experience.
  • Experience implementing a CMMS and at least five years in a relevant management or leadership role would be an advantage.


Why Northport?

This is more than a maintenance scheduling role. You'll have the opportunity to shape how maintenance is planned and dellivered across a major commercial port, lead established maintenance functions and make a tangable difference to asset reliability and operational performance.

If you're ready to take ownership, strengthen systems and lead meaningful improvements in a complex operational environment, we’d like to hear from you.
