Project Coordinator (Contract Administrator)

If you're a meticulous critical thinker who jumps at any chance to organise or plan something, who enjoys a good spreadsheet more than you let on, and who wants to point at buildings across Melbourne and say you helped make that happen, we want to talk to you.

We're hiring a Project Coordinator as a development role, so you'll be taught the commercial side by people who have run hundreds of fit-outs, given real ownership early, and shown a clear path through to Project Manager. Concept is a design and build company with forty-nine years and over 2,000 projects behind it, and Melbourne is our hub, around forty people, which means the senior PMs, design and estimating you'll learn from all sit in the same room as you.

A little about our people: 

We’re tea drinkers, chocolate fiends, coffee lovers, footy tragics, dog devotees but most of all, we’re people who genuinely care. We show up for each other, we show up for our clients, and we show up for our community. Our core values guide everything we do: we walk in each other’s shoes; we do what we say, and we get stuff done; we are nimble and easy to do business with; we continuously improve through innovation; we are accountable to our customers and to each other; and we're a community at concept.

And these aren’t posters on a wall, they shape how we lead, deliver, and grow.

What we do: 
We exist to create meaningful experiences through spaces, in a genuinely collaboratively way, specialising in the office and health sector.

Overview of the position:

This role is perfect for someone who loves the entire lifecycle of commercial delivery, from initial estimate through to project close-out. You'll work with the Project teams to price, procure and protect project outcomes through quality documentation, cost & contract control, and smart stakeholder communication. This position is the trajectory towards the project management role you can't stop thinking about.

Our expectations of you:

• Experience as a Project Coordinator, Contract Administrator, cadet or site-based support in construction, fit-out or commercial interiors, or a construction management qualification and the appetite to learn the rest
• The kind of person who sees a drawing and immediately starts mentally breaking down the scope
• Meticulous planning and organisation, and composure when things go sideways, so issues get resolved thoroughly and methodically
• Analytical and numerical, comfortable holding competing priorities
• Confident communicating with subcontractors, consultants and clients, and comfortable chasing an answer until you have it

The hiring process is simple. Read this. Like it. Reach out. We’ll chat, introduce you to the team, and make sure it’s a great fit on both sides.

Advice from us:
If it’s not for you but someone sprang to mind, refer them!

Lastly:

Have an amazing day, whatever you’re up to. And if you’re ready to turn detail into delivery (while living our core values), let’s talk.
