Are you an experienced project professional who wants to make an impact on a national scale? Do you thrive in complex environments and want to play a key role in leading and coordinating delivery within the disability sector?

We are currently partnering with a prominent Federal Government client in the disability sector, to recruit an exciting and critical role: EL1 Project Coordinator/Manager – New Framework Planning. This position sits within a complex program environment and is vital to driving strategic delivery outcomes, maintaining governance discipline, and ensuring informed decision-making.

About the Opportunity

In this role, you will be responsible for leading and coordinating project delivery across multiple streams. Reporting to the Director or PMO Lead, you will provide strategic advice, drive delivery outcomes, and manage end-to-end project execution—ensuring projects are delivered on time, within scope, and aligned with strategic program priorities. This role includes supervisory responsibilities, offering a fantastic opportunity to lead, coach, and develop a high-performing team.

Key Responsibilities:

• Project Delivery & Execution: Lead the planning, delivery, and closure of projects; develop schedules, monitor performance, and proactively manage risks, issues, and dependencies.
• Program Governance & Reporting: Prepare high-quality reports, ministerial briefings, and governance papers; support Steering Committees and Program Boards with clear insights.
• Planning & Coordination: Coordinate activities across multiple delivery streams to ensure integration, identify interdependencies, and support resource allocation.
• Risk & Change Management: Lead risk assessments, manage change control processes, and promote a proactive risk and continuous improvement culture.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Build strong, collaborative relationships with internal and external stakeholders, executives, and cross-agency partners.
• People Leadership: Lead, coach, and develop team members to build capability and ensure high-quality outputs aligned with governance standards.

Ideally you will possess:

• Project Capabilities: Strong project coordination, governance, and assurance capabilities with the ability to apply structured methodologies (e.g., project lifecycles, stage gates).
• Master Scheduling Experience: Demonstrated experience developing and managing integrated master schedules in complex, multi-program environments (i.e., established experience as a Master Scheduler, not solely as a Project Manager).
• Technical Tool Proficiency: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Project (or equivalent scheduling tools) and familiarity with enterprise project management tools.
• Schedule & Risk Expertise: Strong expertise in dependency management, critical path analysis, schedule risk management, and a deep understanding of governance frameworks.
• Data Analysis & Attention to Detail: Strong attention to detail with a focus on data quality and schedule integrity; proven ability to synthesise complex schedule data into clear, actionable insights for senior stakeholders.
• Strategic Communication: Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills with a proven ability to lead teams, exercise sound judgment, and influence outcomes.
• Qualifications: Formal qualifications or equivalent experience in project/program coordination.
