Want to be part of one of Australia’s most significant Defence infrastructure programs?

We’re looking for a highly organised Project Coordinator to join our team at Garden Island, supporting a major project linked to the Submarine Rotational Force – West initiative.

This is a newly created role where you’ll become the glue between project managers, contractors, clients and operational teams. You’ll help keep communication flowing, documentation organised and project activities moving forward.

• Coordinating project documentation, reporting and administrative activities
• Scheduling meetings and tracking actions, milestones and deliverables
• Managing project records and ensuring information remains accurate and up to date
• Liaising with contractors, project managers, clients and internal stakeholders
• Supporting reporting, governance and project compliance requirements
• Following up outstanding tasks and helping remove roadblocks
• Assisting the team to keep projects running smoothly from planning through to completion

About You

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience in project coordination, project administration or a similar support role
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail
• Confidence engaging with a variety of stakeholders
• Experience using Microsoft Teams, Outlook and other business systems
• The ability to juggle competing priorities and stay one step ahead
• Strong communication skills and a proactive approach
• Experience within construction, infrastructure, maintenance, Defence or technical environments would be highly regarded.
• A trade background or project management qualifications are a bonus, but not essential.

Due to the nature of this role, you MUST be an Australian Citizen and able to hold and maintain a Defence Security clearance.

Why Join Us?

• $100,000 Plus Super
• Brand-new position with the opportunity to make your mark
• Dedicated role supporting a major Defence project
• Monday to Friday, 38-hour week with flexible start and finish times
• Long-term career opportunities within a leading infrastructure services business
