As our project portfolio continues to grow, so does our Central Coordination function. Established to drive greater consistency, technical excellence and best-practice delivery across the business, the team plays a critical role in supporting project outcomes, identifying efficiencies and sharing lessons learned across multiple projects and sectors.

The Opportunity

This role offers a unique opportunity to influence the delivery of fit-out, finishes and joinery packages across multiple projects, working closely with our Project Coordinators, Design Managers, Project Managers and delivery teams to drive quality, coordination and programme outcomes.

We're specifically seeking candidates who have developed their experience within a Tier 1 or Tier 2 head contractor environment and bring a strong background coordinating commercial fit-out, finishes and joinery packages.

This is an ideal opportunity for a Project Coordinator or Senior Project Coordinator looking to broaden their experience beyond a single project environment and gain exposure to project delivery at a portfolio level.

Key Responsibilities;

• Coordinate and oversee the technical delivery of fit-out, finishes and joinery packages across multiple projects.
• Work closely with Project Coordinators, Design Managers, Project Managers and site teams to ensure packages are effectively detailed, coordinated and delivered in line with programme requirements.
• Review designs, specifications and shop drawings, identifying opportunities to improve buildability, sequencing, efficiency and project outcomes.
• Manage design changes, technical queries and stakeholder engagement with clients, consultants and trade partners throughout the design and delivery process.
• Lead the coordination of finishes packages, ensuring programme milestones, procurement activities and delivery requirements are achieved.
• Support overseas procurement and letting of joinery and finishes packages where required.
• Drive collaboration across project teams and external stakeholders to achieve coordinated, high-quality delivery outcomes.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of fit-out delivery practices, identifying opportunities to enhance coordination processes, standardise approaches and drive best-practice outcomes across the business.
