• Promoting safety, quality, and continuous improvement across all projects.

About You

You're someone who thrives in a busy, project-driven environment and has the skills to balance priorities while maintaining a high standard of detail.

You'll bring:

• At least 3 years' experience in project coordination/support for complex projects (ideally in occupied properties or the care sector).
• Strong understanding of project delivery support and financial resource management.
• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Experience implementing quality systems and a working knowledge of WHS and compliance.
• An understanding of IT, communication, and security systems within buildings (advantageous).
