About F9 Project Services

F9 Project Services is a Perth-based specialist consultancy focused on project controls. We design and manage planning, scheduling, and control systems for major capital projects in mining, resources, energy, and infrastructure sectors, collaborating with owners, EPCM firms, and Tier 1 contractors.

Role Overview

The Project Planner is responsible for developing, maintaining, and monitoring schedules across multiple projects. Key duties include creating CPM schedules using Primavera P6, analyzing project progress and performance data, generating reports and dashboards for stakeholders, collaborating with project managers, engineers, and contractors to identify risks and milestones, and supporting project control methodology implementation consistent with client needs and F9 standards.

Work Location and Arrangements

This full-time role is based in Perth with various working modes depending on client engagement: a hybrid model combining Perth CBD client site presence and remote work; site-based FIFO or DIDO rotations to regional Western Australia; or entirely remote working arrangements where client delivery permits. Specific arrangements will be tailored and discussed during the interview process.
