Commissioning & Procurement Officer

**About Lives Lived Well**

At Lives Lived Well, we’ve been supporting people whose lives are affected by alcohol and other drugs for over 50 years. We also support people with mental health and gambling concerns and those transitioning from correctional centres. We’re growing fast and building a reputation as a trusted, innovative provider focused on clinical excellence—and we’d love you to be part of it.

**Your Opportunity**

We’re preparing to open a new Residential AOD Treatment Facility in Ipswich, and you’ll play a key role in bringing it to life. As our Commissioning/Procurement Officer, you’ll be hands-on and, on the ground,—coordinating commissioning, managing procurement, and ensuring the site is ready to welcome clients and staff.

This is a full-time, 6-month maximum term contract. You’ll be supported by a collaborative project team and experienced leaders, and your work will directly contribute to the successful opening of a vital new service.

**Who we are looking for**

You’re someone who’s hands-on, solutions-focused, and thrives on variety. You're comfortable taking full ownership of tasks and seeing them through. You thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments where initiative and hands-on problem-solving are key.

**About the role**

Some of the key functions of the role include:

- Oversee site commissioning and ensure all systems (e.g., ICT, security, access) are tested and operational.
- Coordinate procurement of furniture, equipment, and services, tracking progress and budget alignment.
- Liaise with suppliers and internal teams to ensure timely delivery, installation, and setup.
- Facilitate final cleaning, defect rectification, and preparation of the site for handover.
- Act as the key contact for commissioning-related queries and support documentation, training, and walkthroughs.
- Provide post-occupancy support, resolving issues and ensuring smooth service transition.

If you’re ready to take ownership of a meaningful project and thrive in a hands-on role, we’d love to hear from you.
- Strong organisational and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities, work independently, and adapt to changing circumstances.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a track record of building positive relationships and achieving practical outcomes in complex environments.
- Ability to work hands-on in dynamic, fast-paced settings, taking initiative and ownership of tasks from start to finish.
- Confident in coordinating across teams and managing logistics to ensure smooth project delivery.
- Understanding of the community services and health industry (particularly AOD and mental health) is not essential but highly desirable.

**To succeed in this role, there are some essentials you’ll need**:

- Relevant qualifications and experience in project management, procurement, facilities management, or a related field.
- Proven ability to manage commissioning and procurement activities in capital works or service delivery settings, including coordinating logistics and engaging multiple stakeholders.
- Strong understanding of operational readiness, compliance, and WHS in service environments.
- Current Australian Driver’s Licence and ability to pass a National Police History Check.
