Project Coordinator

Project Coordinator - Defence

The Opportunity

A unique opportunity exists for an experienced Project Coordinator to step into a Contracts Administrator role and take ownership of key sustainment and service delivery contracts supporting the Royal Australian Navy.

This role blends contract management with hands-on project coordination, making it ideal for someone who enjoys being directly involved in the day-to-day movement, scheduling and delivery activities that keep a Defence contract running smoothly. You will be the central point of coordination-ensuring services are delivered, schedules are met, stakeholders are aligned, and all contractual obligations are achieved.

Responsibilities of Your New Role

• Manage Defence sustainment contracts, ensuring all service, delivery and performance requirements are met.
• Coordinate service schedules, working with internal delivery teams, subcontractors and multiple national sites.
• Liaise directly with Royal Australian Navy ships and Defence to organise deliveries, equipment returns and service timelines.
• Oversee the full coordination process; quotations, documentation, invoicing and contract compliance.
• Maintain all contract documentation including KPI reporting, CDRLs, contract registers, templates and performance reviews.
• Lead quarterly and annual contract review meetings with Defence stakeholders.
• Manage Defence-furnished equipment, spares, stocktakes and logistics activities.
• Work proactively to ensure services are delivered safely, efficiently and in alignment with contractual requirements.
• Support additional Defence-related projects and minor contracts as required.

This is a "hands-on" role-you are the person who ensures the contract is delivered end-to-end.

Experience required to make this your new role

• Experience managing Defence or government contracts, or experience as a Project Coordinator/Project Manager supporting Defence programs.
• Understanding of Defence procurement, governance and contract compliance requirements is ideal
• Strong stakeholder skills with the ability to engage confidently with Navy stakeholders
• Highly organised with the ability to plan schedules, coordinate competing priorities and meet tight deadlines.
• Excellent communication, documentation and reporting capability.
• Australian Citizen with ability to obtain a Baseline Defence Security Clearance.
