Utility / Bus Driver / Airside | FIFO 2:1 | New Contract Mobilisation |

 

Utility first. Driving support. Keep the operation moving.

 

About Us

Programmed is a leading provider of facility management services across Australia, delivering essential services across mining, infrastructure and industry.

As part of the PERSOLKELLY group, we offer long-term career pathways and opportunities to grow within a national business

 

Programmed Facility Management has recently been awarded a new contract at Tropicana and Sunrise Dam, and we’re expanding our team to support ongoing operations.

This is a great opportunity to join during a key mobilisation phase, while working alongside an established, high-retention crew. You’ll step into a structured environment with clear processes, supportive leadership, and a small team that works together to keep the site running smoothly.

Working on a 2:1 FIFO roster out of Perth, this role is best suited to candidates with a strong utility background and bus driving experience, rather than those seeking a driving-only role.

What’s on offer

• 2:1 FIFO roster out of Perth
• Join a new contract with an established team already in place
• Day shift and night shift roles available
• Strong site culture with excellent retention
• Accommodation, meals, PPE and uniforms provided
• Access to employee benefits and support programs
• Opportunities for career progression and professional development

The Opportunity

This is a utility-focused role, with bus driving forming part of your shift.

You’ll support a range of village utility tasks, while also assisting with the safe transport of personnel between airport, village, and site access points.

• Maintain vehicles in a clean, safe, and operational condition
• Work across day or night shifts, depending on roster
• Support airside movements and general transport coordination
• Assist other departments where required to support overall site operations

 

About You

You’re an experienced utility worker who is comfortable taking on a varied, hands-on role, with the flexibility to step into driving duties when required.

• Previous FIFO or mine site experience (highly regarded)
• Experience driving buses up to 52-seater
