We are seeking a proactive and experienced Grounds Coordinator to support our Infrastructure Coordinator and play a key role in maintaining and enhancing outdoor infrastructure across multiple sites.

This is an exciting opportunity for a hands-on professional with a strong background in project coordination and grounds management, who is ready to step up and grow into a leadership role within our infrastructure team.

- Perform excavation and site preparation work in readiness for external contractors.
- Coordinate and oversee contractors and subcontractors to ensure quality and timely completion of projects.
- Conduct routine grounds maintenance tasks such as mowing, trimming, landscaping, rubbish management, and pest control.
- Assist with installation and maintenance of outdoor facilities, fencing, pathways, and security systems.
- Ensure compliance with safety standards and environmental regulations.
- Manage inventory of tools, equipment, and materials needed for site works.
- Work independently as well as part of a team, with strong communication and problem-solving skills.

What We’re Looking For:

- Proven experience in grounds coordination, facilities management, or a similar role involving outdoor infrastructure projects.
- Hands-on experience operating heavy machinery, including excavators.
- Strong project management skills with the ability to plan, organise, and execute multiple tasks efficiently.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively within a team.
- Excellent communication and leadership potential for future progression.
- Relevant qualifications or certifications in landscaping, horticulture, construction, or related fields are highly desirable.
- Valid driver’s license and a commitment to safety practices.

Why Join Us?

- Permanent full-time role with a competitive salary package plus superannuation.
- Vehicle provided for work-related travel.
- Work across diverse sites, gaining varied experience in infrastructure and grounds management.
- Supportive work environment focused on safety, growth, and teamwork.
