Project Coordinator
Foxhound Talent is working with one of Australia's most established builders to find a Project Coordinator for their Brisbane team.
This role has been created to develop someone. The team wants to bring on a coordinator who can take on the day-to-day project coordination and, with the right support, grow into a Contract Administrator. Formal qualifications aren't essential.
The work
This is a commercial building role, not civil or heavy infrastructure. The team delivers a varied mix of vertical construction projects, and their current and upcoming work includes:
Healthcare: new building works and refurbishments within operating hospitals, where staging, infection control and working around clinical services are part of everyday delivery
Government funded residential: multi-storey apartment buildings for social and affordable housing
Technical facilities: purpose-built buildings housing critical systems for transport operators, with demanding services, compliance and handover requirements
Aviation: building works within an operational airport environment
Refurbishment and remedial works: upgrading and rectifying existing buildings, where every area opened up can bring something new
Each type of project brings its own challenges, from live environments and critical services to managing multiple stakeholders. That variety means you'll build a broad foundation early in your career rather than learning one type of job.
The support you'll get
This isn't a role where you're left to figure it out alone. You'll be:
Working day to day alongside experienced project managers and contract administrators who will actively mentor you
Taught the commercial side of construction step by step, starting with the basics and building up as your confidence grows
Given increasing responsibility as you show you're ready, with a clear path toward running your own commercial packages
Part of a settled, experienced team that takes the time to develop people and has promoted from within before
What you'll be doing
To start, you'll support the project team with:
Document control, including drawings, RFIs, transmittals and correspondence
Subcontractor records, including insurances, SWMS, inductions and site access
Minutes in project and subcontractor meetings, and chasing actions through to close out
Quality processes, including ITPs, defect tracking and handover documentation
Monthly progress claims and client reporting
As you develop, you'll be mentored through:
Preparing and tracking variations
Understanding head contracts and subcontracts
How extension of time, delay and latent condition claims are built and substantiated
Procurement, subcontractor packages and cost tracking
Who they're looking for
This role would suit:
Someone in site administration or document control ready to take the next step
A tradesperson or apprentice who wants to move off the tools and into the commercial side
A construction management, QS or engineering student or recent graduate
Someone early in their construction career who wants a clear direction
You'll need to be organised, confident dealing with site teams, subcontractors and clients, and genuinely interested in how projects are run commercially. Experience with Aconex, Procore or similar is a bonus.
Why this role
A real pathway: mentored development into a Contract Administrator role, not a dead-end admin position
Variety: exposure to healthcare, residential, technical and aviation building projects early in your career
Stability: a long-standing builder with a strong and varied pipeline
Support: experienced people around you who want to see you succeed
