Your Impact

We’re on the lookout for a hands-on Maintenance Planner/Controller to join our Iconic Cascade Brewery in Hobart. In this role, you’ll be at the heart of keeping our site running safely and smoothly by planning and coordinating maintenance across brewing, packaging, and utilities. You’ll lead from the floor - supporting the team, resolving issues in real time, and ensuring we stay on track with our maintenance program and budgets.

No two days are the same at Cascade. With a large and diverse estate, unexpected challenges can pop up - from unplanned breakdowns to unique site issues - so we’re looking for someone who can think on their feet, lead with confidence, and plan proactively.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and schedule maintenance activities and small projects, including parts coordination, SOPs, and permits (e.g., confined space, hot work)
• Facilitate daily team meetings, review progress, and adjust plans as required
• Manage work requests, maintenance tags, and asset care reporting
• Work closely with trades and contractors, providing on-the-floor supervision and troubleshooting
• Coordinate contractor support for overhauls and one-off projects
• Lead team engagement by promoting ownership, accountability, and continuous improvement
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to align maintenance priorities with broader site goals
• Maintain CMMS system data and reporting, and ensure best-practice usage across the team

About You

To thrive in this role, you’ll bring:

• Previous experience in a maintenance planning or coordination role - ideally in a manufacturing environment
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate and empower a diverse trades team
• A hands-on mindset and comfort being out on the floor
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• A proactive, problem-solving attitude and ability to stay calm under pressure
• A safety-first approach in everything you do
• Proficiency with CMMS (SAP PM beneficial), Microsoft Office, and general computer literacy
