About the project

Renewal SA is redeveloping the former West End Brewery site, now Southwark Grounds, into a mixed-use community just 2km from the Adelaide CBD.

- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
- Proficiency in project management tools, systems, and reporting processes.
