Specialist Scheduler

Specialist – Scheduler

Public Transport Network Planning | Melbourne-Based

Join Kinetic, Australia’s largest and most trusted mass transit bus operator, as we continue to shape efficient and reliable public transport networks across Melbourne.

We are seeking a Specialist – Scheduler to support our tram and bus scheduling operations. Based in Melbourne, this is a flexible role with the option to work from home up to two days per week, and depot access available at Sunshine, Fitzroy, and Doncaster.

What you’ll be doing:

• Developing and maintaining timetables, schedules and rosters for our bus and tram services using Hastus (or similar scheduling software such as Austrics)
• Analysing network performance to identify and rectify scheduling issues
• Supporting the delivery of Kinetic’s Planning Annual Plan and continuous improvement initiatives
• Collaborating with internal teams and external stakeholders (e.g., Department of Transport and Planning)

What we’re looking for:

• Experience using Hastus strongly preferred (Austrics or other scheduling software also considered)
• Bus and tram scheduling experience only – train scheduling is not applicable to this role
• Strong analytical and computer skills – this is not an operational role
• Self-starter who is comfortable working independently and taking initiative
• Confident Excel user with strong communication and organisational skills

What we offer:

• Flexible work arrangements, including hybrid work (2 days WFH)
• A collaborative team environment within a purpose-driven business
• Competitive salary commensurate with experience – including entry-level consideration for the right candidate

Apply today to help shape how Melbourne moves. We’re passionate about making a difference in our communities – are you?
