What will you do? 

As a Project Assistant/Coordinator in our Darwin Program Performance Advisory team, you’ll play a key support role across a range of Defence facilities and infrastructure projects. 

You’ll work alongside experienced Project Managers and Directors, helping keep projects organised, on track, and running smoothly. This is a great opportunity to learn on the job, build your skills, and gain exposure to large, meaningful projects that make a real impact. 

You don’t need to know everything on day one - we’ll provide support and training. What matters most is your enthusiasm, willingness to learn and your readiness to contribute. 

In this role, you will: 

• Support project teams with planning, coordination and day-to-day delivery activities 

• Assist with tracking progress, reporting, and maintaining project documentation 

• Help coordinate stakeholders and keep communication flowing across teams 

• Support multiple concurrent projects across the entire life cycle, including initiation, design management, tendering, contract administration, financial management, project scheduling and risk management 

• Learn the fundamentals of project management across the full project lifecycle 

What can you bring to the team? 

We’re looking for someone who is proactive, organised, and keen to build a career in project delivery. 

You might already have some experience in an administration, organisation, supporting teams, coordination, or project support role - or you could be early in your career and looking for the right opportunity to get started, with the right attitude and work ethic, this may be a role for you. 

What’s most important is that you: 

• Bring a positive, can-do attitude and take initiative  

• Are well organised with strong attention to detail  

• Are self-driven, with a willingness to learn while contributing on the job  

• Can effectively prioritise and manage multiple tasks across a range of projects  

• Communicate clearly and confidently, with strong written skills and attention to grammar  

• Enjoy working in a supportive, team-focused environment  

• Are curious and motivated to develop new skills  

It is highly desirable (but not essential) if you have: 

• Some experience in administration, coordination, or project support roles 

• Practical, real-world trade or project experience 

• Exposure supporting construction projects in any capacity 

• Familiarity with construction, infrastructure, or consulting environments 

• A relevant qualification in Project Management or Engineering, or currently working toward one (e.g., Diploma or Degree) 

You’ll also need to: 

• Be an Australian Citizen and eligible for security clearance (AGSVA requirements apply) and hold a valid drivers licence.
