About BMD

BMD is Australia’s leading integrated engineering, construction and urban development business. As the largest privately owned civil contractor in Australia, BMD is at the forefront of excellence, with a growing international footprint extending to the Philippines and the United Kingdom.

Driven by a purpose of powering futures and creating enduring legacies, we deliver complex infrastructure solutions that connect and transform communities. For over 45 years, our diverse portfolio of projects and roles provides exceptional opportunities for our people to grow and make a lasting impact. As part of our team, you’ll help deliver challenging projects, supported by leadership within an inclusive people-first culture.

About the role

As a Senior Planner with BMD, you'll play a key role in supporting the successful pursuit of major infrastructure and resources projects across Western Australia. Working closely with estimating and operational teams, you'll apply your construction knowledge to develop practical, buildable project programs that identify key risks, opportunities and delivery strategies during the tender phase.

We're looking for someone who can challenge assumptions, understand how projects are actually constructed and contribute to winning methodologies, not simply maintain schedules. This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team where your expertise will influence how projects are planned from day one.

Key responsibilities

  • Develop detailed tender and proposal programs for major infrastructure and resources projects.
  • Collaborate with estimating and operational teams to develop construction methodologies and delivery strategies.
  • Identify key planning risks, constraints and opportunities during bid preparation.
  • Prepare and maintain project schedules using Primavera P6.
  • Support operational teams with planning expertise during project mobilisation and delivery.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of planning systems, processes and best practice across the business.

About you

  • Previous experience as a Planner or Senior Planner within civil infrastructure, mining or construction projects.
  • Strong capability in developing and maintaining construction schedules using Primavera P6.
  • Experience preparing tender programs and supporting bid submissions.
  • Sound understanding of construction methodologies, project sequencing and delivery processes.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with estimating, engineering and project teams.
  • Strong communication skills and a practical, solutions-focused approach.

Benefits

We believe our people do their best work when they feel supported — personally and professionally. That’s why we offer benefits that go beyond the basics:

  • grow your career with specialised learning and development programs
  • be recognised at our annual employee awards event and through our Thrive reward and recognition platform
  • prioritise wellbeing with mental health support and discounted gym access
  • support your family with paid parental leave for primary and secondary carers and flexible work arrangements available
  • access perks with novated leasing, specialised Power Perks and discounts with hundreds of retailers.

Diversity and inclusion

We recognise that we are strengthened by diversity, and we embrace differences as an equal opportunity employer providing a flexible and inclusive workplace.

So, join our team, be yourself and help us power futures and create legacies.

We’re a purpose and values-led business guided by our values of family, empowered, collaborative and driven. For further details on what makes BMD unique, head to https://www.bmdgroup.global/careers
