Company Overview

Snowy Hydro Limited

NSW, Australia

1949

Approximately 1,000-5,000 employees (source: leadiq.com). Snowy Hydro is a wholly-owned Commonwealth company with no public revenue data available for 2023 or later.

What They Do

Snowy Hydro's core technology focus is on pumped hydro-electricity, gas-fired peaking, diesel peaking, and contracted wind and solar renewables. The company operates 16 power stations and one pumping station, boasting a total generating capacity of over 5,500 MW dispatched to the National Electricity Market (source: snowyhydro.com.au). The Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme, which is a significant part of their operations, features nine hydro-electric power stations and 16 dams linked by 145 km of tunnels and 80 km of aqueducts, primarily located in Kosciuszko National Park. Additionally, Snowy Hydro manages water storage and diversion under the Snowy Water Licence for irrigation to the Murray and Murrumbidgee systems (source: wikipedia.org).

Projects & Track Record

Snowy Hydro has a rich history of notable projects, including the original Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme, which was completed in 1974 and delivered a total output of 3,740 MW from seven power stations, such as Guthega, which began operations in 1955 (source: snowyhydro.com.au). The company also operates significant gas assets, including the Colongra Power Station (667 MW, acquired in 2015), Laverton North (320 MW), and Latrobe Valley (300 MW) in Victoria, along with three diesel stations in South Australia totaling 136 MW (source: wikipedia.org). Currently, major projects include Snowy 2.0, which aims to link the Tantangara and Talbingo dams via a 27 km underground tunnel and establish a new pumped-hydro station for 2,000 MW generation and 175 hours of storage, with construction having commenced in 2019 (source: snowyhydro.com.au).

Recent Developments

In March 2018, the Australian Government acquired full ownership of Snowy Hydro by purchasing shares from New South Wales and Victoria, solidifying its status as a wholly-owned Commonwealth entity (source: snowyhydro.com.au). The construction of Snowy 2.0 is a significant advancement in the company's portfolio, marking it as a nation-building pumped-hydro project that commenced in 2019 (source: snowyhydro.com.au). Additionally, Snowy Hydro has secured contracts for over 1,000 MW from ten wind and solar projects, enhancing its renewable energy offerings (source: leadiq.com).

The company also has opportunities in support functions such as IT, HR, and finance, with hiring occurring at their headquarters in Cooma, the Sydney office, and various project sites across New South Wales and Victoria (source: leadiq.com).

A full-time position exists for a Scheduler (Kosciuszko & Murray region) to join the Planning and Performance team in the Operations stream.

About the position

As a Scheduler, you will build, maintain, and actively manage a single, integrated schedule across the Kosciuszko and Murray regions within Snowy's Generation portfolio. Acting as the central coordination point, integrating inputs from Planning & Performance, Operations & Maintenance, Project Delivery, GenOps and Access, you will ensure that emergent work is optimally sequenced in line with operational priorities. Ultimately, your work will contribute to a single source of truth for all scheduled work, enabling informed, portfolio-level decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain a detailed, single coordinated schedule across maintenance, projects, overhauls, and break-in work, ensuring all entering work is fully defined and ready for execution.
  • Determine the optimal timing and sequencing of work based on asset availability, outage windows, and resource constraints, balancing competing demands to optimise portfolio outcomes.
  • Integrate key inputs from O&M, Project Delivery, GenOps, and Access, identifying and managing cross-functional dependencies across assets and teams.
  • Proactively adjust the schedule in response to emergent work, delays, or changing operational conditions, maintaining strict alignment with GenOps real-time requirements.
  • Monitor schedule performance (adherence, stability, conflicts) and identify trends to improve planning and scheduling practices across the portfolio.

About the location

The base for this role is Jindabyne or Khancoban, with the final choice entirely up to you. As this position requires delivery across both the Kosciuszko and Murray regions, you will need to travel between sites. This position operates on a standard Monday to Friday roster with flexible working arrangements, requiring a minimum of three days per week in the office or on-site, with the opportunity to work two days from home - the final details will be determined with the successful candidate.

We offer relocation assistance to support candidates relocating to Jindabyne or Khancoban.

About you

  • You hold a relevant trade, technical qualification, or tertiary qualification (Engineering, Business, or similar).
  • You possess strong experience in planning, scheduling, maintenance, operations, or project delivery within an asset-intensive environment.
  • You have a solid understanding of scheduling principles (dependencies, sequencing, resource constraints) and familiarity with systems like Primavera P6, MS Project, POL, Ellipse, or OMS.
  • You have excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify and coordinate the resolution of schedule clashes, overlaps, and inefficiencies.
  • You have strong attention to detail and the ability to interpret work plans, translating them into accurate, executable schedules.
  • You are an effective communicator who can coordinate across multiple stakeholders and respond adaptively to changing conditions.
  • You are committed to a proactive safety culture and treat all workplace relationships as true partnerships to meet shared objectives.
