Project coordinator

Melbourne

Posted: 14 May
Offer description

We're Victoria's leading structural steel building company - sheds, garages, carports and barns delivered across the state. Family-owned, 30+ years strong, with 700+ projects rolling through our four locations: Narre Warren (head office), Bayswater, Dandenong South and Warragul.

We're not a startup, we're not a corporate. We're a high-trust operation where good people make decisions, see the impact of their work, and build something that lasts.

Pay: $80,000 – $90,000 + super + up to $6,500 bonuses. Total OTE: $96,500 – $111,500 + super.

The role

This is a customer-facing project coordination role where you own a portfolio of builds end-to-end. From the moment a customer signs, you're their single point of contact — through permits, engineering, manufacture, delivery and install. You're the connective tissue between sales, engineering, installers, surveyors and council.

You'll be supported while you learn the regulatory side, and we'll expect you to be independent on most of it within 6 months. You'll also work closely with our incoming Operations Manager (joining July 2026), who oversees the coordination team.

This is a step up from generalist coordination work — closer to a junior project manager role, with a clear pathway into Senior Coordinator, PM or Operations within 2-3 years.

What you'll own

Permits and compliance

Lodge and manage building permits with private building surveyors.

Interpret site plans — setbacks, easements, building envelopes.

Identify and elevate planning overlays (BMO, SLO, LSIO, heritage, flood).

Manage council enquiries and inspection sequencing.

Engineering and pre-build

Coordinate structural drawings, slab and footing designs with our external engineers.

Sign off construction drawings with customers before release to manufacture.

Escalate complex engineering questions to the Senior Coordinator.

Release files to manufacture once permits and engineering are locked.

Coordinate crane truck deliveries, installer crews, and concrete contractors.

Schedule and confirm install dates with customers.

Resolve missing parts, snag items and post-install issues.

Process progress payments and final balances.

Keep customers and their sales consultant informed at every milestone.

Be the calm, capable voice when things get complicated.

Hand the customer over to install crew with no information loss.

What you'll need

2+ years in construction admin, project coordination, building surveying support, council planning, or related field.

Comfortable reading site plans and basic engineering drawings.

Aware of the Victorian building permit process — we'll train you on the specifics.

Strong written and verbal communication — you'll be on the phone, on email, and writing in the customer file all day.

Comfortable with technology — we run on Salesforce, Make.com, Google Workspace and a custom AI‐assisted workflow.

Nice to have

Working knowledge of Class 10a permits and planning overlays.

Experience working with private building surveyors.

Prior shed, garage, kit home or modular building industry experience.

Familiarity with Landchecker, VicPlan or BASIS.

Experience with regional Victorian councils.

What you'll be measured on

Permit cycle time (signed deal → permit issued).

Install cycle time (permit issued → install complete).

Snag rate per 100 jobs.

Customer satisfaction at post‐install survey.

What we offer

Quarterly performance bonus up to $1,500.

Annual operational bonus up to $5,000 tied to cycle time and CSAT.

Senior Project Coordinator above you for mentoring and escalation support.

Genuine career pathway into Senior Coordinator, PM or Operations leadership.

Modern tech stack — we invest heavily here, you won't be fighting spreadsheets.

Supportive team, low ego, no politics.

Onsite parking available, easy access off the M1.

Reports to: Operations Manager.
