About the role  

Join our team as a Project Coordinator and help bring Phase 1 of our Asset Lifecycle Management Program to life. This important program will strengthen the way Lifeblood plans, acquires, operates, maintains and retires its assets, supporting our people and the communities we serve.

You will support project planning, prepare workshops, track risks and issues, develop clear and useful documentation, and help create key program deliverables. You will also play a big part in keeping our stakeholders connected, from Manufacturing and Logistics to ICT, Property, Maintenance and Finance, along with our external partners.

 

If you enjoy keeping projects organised, building strong relationships and supporting meaningful change, this role offers the chance to contribute to an important national initiative. This is a fixed term position through to June 2027.
