The Role

This is a high-impact coordination role at the centre of a landmark mobilisation program, responsible for bringing a brand-new greenfield site to operational readiness by 2027. Sitting across both the Customer and Operations directorates, you will own the consolidated program plan – integrating 13 project streams, mapping all cross-stream interdependencies, and maintaining the governance and reporting cadence that keeps delivery on track. You will not be responsible for delivering every stream yourself; rather, you are the connective tissue across the program – attending stream meetings, partnering with stream leads, providing timely reporting to leadership and governance forums, and ensuring nothing falls through the gaps as the program moves toward go-live.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain the consolidated MS Project program plan across all 13 project streams – integrating plans from the Customer and Operations directorates, mapping dependencies, sequencing milestones, and maintaining a single source of truth for the mobilisation program.
  • Lead cross-stream governance – attend stream meetings across both directorates, facilitate working sessions and decision forums, track risks, issues, and decisions, and ensure interdependencies between streams are visible and actively managed.
  • Produce high-quality reporting for governance and leadership forums – translating complex, multi-stream delivery activity into clear, accurate, and timely program updates that support confident executive decision-making.
  • Partner with stream leads, the overarching Program Director, and senior stakeholders to maintain delivery momentum – escalating risks, resolving cross-stream conflicts, and providing practical, balanced advice on prioritisation and sequencing.
  • Coordinate mobilisation readiness activities across Customer and Operations – ensuring customer experience changes, operational processes, workforce readiness, and system requirements are aligned and sustainably implemented ahead of go-live.

Skills & Experience Required

  • 5+ years’ experience delivering large, complex programs end-to-end – with a demonstrated track record managing multi-stream or cross-functional programs in a coordination or overarching PM capacity.
  • Advanced MS Project proficiency – able to build, link, and maintain integrated program plans across multiple workstreams, including dependency mapping, milestone tracking, and consolidated reporting.
  • Proven mobilisation, construction go-live, or site activation experience – backgrounds in construction readiness, retail rollout, precinct activation, or facility mobilisation programs are highly regarded.
  • Excellent stakeholder engagement and reporting skills – able to maintain productive relationships across stream leads, senior leaders, and delivery teams, and distil complex program status into clear, governance-ready reporting.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capability – able to identify risks and interdependency conflicts early, support practical resolution, and keep a large, multi-directorate program on track under pressure.

What’s in it for You

  • Initial 12-month fixed-term contract
  • Fawkner location with hybrid working arrangements.
  • High-visibility coordination role at the centre of a landmark mobilisation program – a genuine opportunity to shape how a brand-new site comes to life.
  • Work for a purpose-driven organisation serving communities across metropolitan Melbourne, guided by strong values and a commitment to respectful, compassionate service.
