Project Coordinator
The Opportunity
CSIRO has a complex property portfolio of owned and leased facilities that comprises over 1,000 buildings spread across more than 55 locations within Australia. These scientific and research facilities are diverse both in location and type. CSIRO Business & Infrastructure Services (CBIS) is chartered with managing the services, maintenance and operation of all CSIRO’s scientific and research facilities. CBIS delivers strategic, estate management and capital works functions through its regional and state property management teams supported by its capital works team. CBIS’s strategy and operational activities align with CSIRO’s strategic direction and scientific activities.
The CBIS Project Coordinator will autonomously manage the planning and delivery of medium capital work projects and under the guidance of the Project Manager, support the planning and delivery of major capital works projects including the application of change management principles. Current projects range in value from $1 million - $200 million. These projects include building construction, refurbishment and environmental sustainability works undertaken in a complex environment, with a focus on whole of life capital and operating costs. Future projects may be of greater value. These projects will be primarily based at Geelong.
This position is for a 9-month term. Specifically, this role will be coordinating the commissioning and project closure of the Dry Fire Systems Upgrade as a key focus. In addition to the Dry Fire Upgrade, the role includes assisting with the ACDP Part Life refit, Security Upgrade, or CSIRO Capital Works projects more broadly as dictated by workload and Capital Works team priorities.
This role will be directly accountable for ensuring the project adheres to time, cost and quality requirements and for providing high quality, strategic advice; often in connection with technically challenging issues. In delivering these projects, you will be responsible to the CBIS Project Manager, will operate within the project governance structure and be supported by the capital works project management office (PMO). The role requires the participation in various project activities, including engagement and communication with key internal and external stakeholders and contractors, in a rapidly changing environment to deliver leading edge project outcomes.
The Project coordinator will keep abreast of relevant issues and developments and draw on CSIRO-internal and external expertise in order to provide timely, accurate, specialist advice within the Project often impacting strategic decision making.
