  • Maintain accurate and complete project documentation, QA records, HSE compliance, and certifications
  • Support modular building fleet management and ensure long-term asset performance
  • Liaise with clients, subcontractors, and contract administrators to manage schedules, invoicing, and project variations
  • Deliver weekly updates to the PMC team on progress and outstanding issues
  • Conduct project kick-off meetings and maintain strong client relationships throughout
  • Resolve operational issues promptly or escalate as needed
  • Maintain control over site materials, storage, and inventory

What You'll Bring

  • Certificate IV in Building & Construction (or working towards it)
  • Strong knowledge of construction processes and industry standards
  • Demonstrated leadership and ability to coordinate multidisciplinary teams
  • Excellent communication skills with a focus on relationship building
  • Attention to detail and solid reporting/documentation practices
  • Strong time management and the ability to adapt in fast-paced environments
  • White Card (Construction Induction)
  • Previous experience in a similar construction or modular delivery role (highly desirable)

Why Join ATCO?

  • Permanent, full-time opportunity with a global industry leader
  • Newly created role in a growing part of the business
  • Supportive, collaborative work environment with strong safety culture
  • Real career progression and leadership opportunities
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Be part of a values-driven company making an impact across Australia
