Trusted by contractors and teams across mining and engineering
Smarter workforce planning for mining and field service operations
Most contractor scheduling still happens across spreadsheets, whiteboards, emails and group messages. It works until a job moves, a crew changes, or two projects need the same people in the same week. SprintSuite keeps the schedule connected to the jobs, workforce records and timesheets your team already maintains.
Everything you need to plan work and allocate the right people
Plan work across projects and sites
Review upcoming jobs, dates and locations in one place instead of separate spreadsheets.
Assign employees and crews
Allocate people to the jobs, projects and shifts where they are needed.
Identify unassigned jobs or shifts
Make it easier to see work that still needs someone allocated to it.
Review workforce availability
Check relevant availability and workforce information before you commit an assignment.

Five schedulers, one connected plan
Roster planning, task scheduling, asset scheduling, job scheduling and project plans all read from the same workforce and job information. Choose a scheduler to see it.
Roster planning for FIFO, shutdown and site-based crews
Build a roster pattern once — day shifts, night shifts, R&R blocks — then repeat the cycle and preview the whole roster before it goes out to crews.
- Set roster patterns with shift start and end times
- Preview every day, shift and R&R block before publishing
- Assign employees to roster positions across sites
- Keep rosters connected to the jobs and projects they support
Roster plan builder: patterns, shift types, day counts and a whole-roster preview.
Move from upcoming work to an allocated workforce
A repeatable planning and scheduling process, from reviewing what is coming up to sharing the schedule with the teams who need it.
Review upcoming work
See jobs, projects, dates, locations and workforce requirements.
Confirm workforce requirements
Identify the roles, people, shifts or crew requirements needed for each job.
Review employee availability
Check relevant availability and workforce information before allocating employees.
Assign employees or crews
Schedule employees against the appropriate jobs, projects or shifts.
Identify scheduling gaps
Review unassigned work, missing coverage or information that requires attention.
Share the operational schedule
Give relevant teams access to current job and schedule information through the appropriate SprintSuite workflows.
Plan jobs and coordinate crews with better visibility
The scheduling capabilities Australian contractors use most, connected to the jobs and workforce records they already maintain in SprintSuite.
Job-based scheduling
Schedule employees against the jobs and projects they will perform.
Workforce allocation
Assign employees or crews according to operational requirements.
Unassigned work visibility
Identify jobs or shifts that have not yet been allocated.
Employee availability
Review relevant availability information when preparing schedules.
Role-based planning
Use employee roles or work requirements to support allocation decisions where available.
Multi-project visibility
Review workforce activity across multiple jobs and projects.
Multi-site scheduling
Coordinate work across different project or site locations.
Schedule changes
Update assignments when project dates or workforce requirements change.
Travel and accommodation information
Keep relevant travel and accommodation details connected to jobs or workforce assignments where supported.
Mobile access
Allow relevant employees to access current job or schedule information through confirmed SprintSuite mobile workflows.
Job information connection
Keep schedules connected to project details, documents, tasks or operational information where supported.
Timesheet connection
Connect scheduled jobs and employees with time-entry workflows where supported.
Workforce scheduling becomes difficult when every job is changing
These are the scheduling problems Australian contractors tell us about most often.
Identify unassigned work before it becomes an operational problem
Unassigned jobs or shifts usually surface late — the day before mobilisation, or the morning the crew is due on site. That leads to last-minute coordination, missed work and avoidable pressure on operations teams.
- See work that still needs employees
- Identify incomplete workforce coverage
- Review upcoming allocation requirements
- Prioritise urgent scheduling decisions
- Coordinate with project managers
- Reduce reliance on manual schedule checks
Scheduling visibility helps your team see the gap earlier. Filling it remains an operational decision.
Schedule with relevant workforce information available
Allocating employees should not happen separately from workforce records. Where the information is maintained in SprintSuite, schedulers can review details such as:
SprintSuite does not automatically validate every requirement before an assignment is made — it makes the relevant information easier to review.
Explore Workforce ManagementKeep the schedule connected to the job
A schedule that only holds an employee name and a date leaves supervisors chasing the rest. In SprintSuite, a scheduled job can connect with the information the crew and the office actually need.
Coordinate work across multiple projects and locations
Mining and heavy-industry contractors rarely keep people in one place. Employees move between workshops, client sites, shutdowns and field projects, often within the same week. Multi-site workforce scheduling means seeing:
This is planning visibility based on what has been scheduled and recorded — not live location tracking of employees or vehicles.
Connect scheduled work with time and job records
Scheduling is one stage of a longer operational workflow. Where these steps are connected, teams re-key less information and everyone works from the same job context.
Scheduling software for complex contractor operations
Mining projects
Crews move between sites and campaigns, and requirements change with the project schedule.
Maintenance work
Planned and reactive maintenance both compete for the same available people.
Shutdowns
Short, high-intensity windows where every shift needs the right coverage confirmed early.
Engineering projects
Longer projects where allocation has to be planned around milestones and deliverables.
Mechanical services
Technicians split across workshop work and site callouts on the same day.
Electrical services
Licensed work that has to be matched to people with the right qualifications.
Field service teams
Distributed crews who need current job and schedule information away from the office.
Workshop operations
Workshop capacity has to be planned alongside the jobs that leave the yard.
Labour-based projects
Headcount, roles and shift coverage drive the value of the contract.
Multi-site contracts
One workforce shared across several locations with competing demands.
Project mobilisation
Getting people, inductions, travel and accommodation coordinated before work starts.
Recurring service work
Regular client work that still needs people confirmed against each visit, where supported.
