• Prepare high-quality reports, presentations, briefs, and correspondence.
• Maintain accurate project records and documentation.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives, processes, and ways of working.

About You

You will bring:

• Experience supporting technology, digital, ICT, or business transformation projects within large and complex organisations.
• Experience in PMO, Project Analyst, Project Officer, Project Coordinator, Project Controls, Scheduler, or similar roles.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities and deadlines.
• Experience supporting project reporting, governance, and delivery activities.
• The ability to identify trends, risks, issues, and dependencies and communicate them effectively to stakeholders.

• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
• A proactive mindset with the confidence to raise concerns and elevate issues where required.
• Experience using Jira, Confluence, Excel, Power BI, or similar tools.

Desirable

• Experience working within Australian Government project environments.
• Experience working within Agile, hybrid, or multidisciplinary delivery teams.
• Experience supporting complex programs or transformation initiatives.
• Scheduling experience combined with broader PMO, governance, reporting, or project controls expertise.

Benefits

• 12-month contract opportunity with Potential extension
• $61.85 per hour + Superannuation
• Multiple locations available across Australia:Surry Hills, NSW; Deakin, ACT; Richmond, VIC; Brisbane, QLD and Adelaide, SA
