We're not a tick-and-flick recruiter. We're a cleared scheduling capability built on people who actually deliver - and we're selective about who sits in that network. We want schedulers who lead from the front. Who challenge assumptions, influence stakeholders, and treat schedule integrity as a professional standard, not a checkbox. If that's you, you'll fit right in. In return, you get access to meaningful work on complex programs, rates that reflect the level of the work, and a network of seasoned Defence professionals who've been delivering acquisition outcomes for decades. No fluff. Just good work with people who know what they're doing. Sound like you? Send your resume to Myf MacLean at admin@modulussolutions.com.au.
