About the role
Our Parks Project Team, of which the Parks Project Coordinator is a key member, is tasked with researching, developing, and delivering high-quality, customer-focused outcomes across the Parks and Property portfolio. Good-quality public open-space is a real game-changer in delivering optimal outcomes for the community as access to private green-space decreases with housing intensification and urbanisation.
We are seeking an experienced Project Co-ordinator to support the wider team in ensuring it continues to deliver value driven solutions to public green-space. This includes ensuring projects are delivered on-time, to specification within cost, and quality parameters. The role will also assist with project planning, consultation, concept development, and resource forecasting.
If you are someone who wishes to develop skills over a wide portfolio of works and at the same time deliver real improvements to the lives and experiences of the community, this could be the role for you.
