• Support project planning and delivery, assisting Project Managers across development and
construction phases

alignment on scope and deliverables
• Support design management activities, including document control, design reviews, and
interface tracking
• Contribute to risk and issue management, ensuring risks are tracked, escalated, and

• Support proposal preparation and bid submissions where required
• Drive consistency in project processes, templates, and reporting standards 
 

What we will love about:
• A degree in Engineering, Project Management, Construction Management, or a related
discipline
• 2–6 years’ experience in project coordination, project controls, or assistant PM roles
(ideally in energy, infrastructure, or consulting)
• Strong understanding of project lifecycle and delivery processes
• Experience with project controls functions (cost, schedule, reporting, risk tracking) 
• Familiarity with tools such as Primavera P6, MS Project, Excel (advanced), or similar
reporting tools
• Strong organisational skills with attention to detail and ability to manage competing
priorities
• Effective communication skills and ability to work across distributed/global teams 
• Exposure to transmission, renewables, or infrastructure projects is desirable
• Build core project management and controls capability on major international energy
projects
• Work closely with senior PMs across Australia and global teams
• Gain exposure to end-to-end delivery of utility-scale renewable and network projects 
• Progress into Project Manager or specialist Project Controls roles
