Dantel Communications is an Australian-owned telecommunications contractor delivering turnkey fibre networks across data centre, carrier, and major infrastructure projects nationwide.
We're ISO and CM3 accredited, with a reputation built on clean workmanship, strong systems, and handovers that pass first time.
Our Sydney operation has grown quickly on the back of data centre and carrier work, and the office side of it has outgrown what we can cover between us.
We're looking for a project coordinator to sit alongside our NSW state manager and project manager at our Thornleigh office and take on the coordination and administration that keeps multiple active projects moving.
It's an office-based role in Thornleigh with occasional site visits, supporting delivery across live data centres, construction-phase data centre builds, and carrier network projects.
The Role
You'll become the person who knows the status of every NSW job.
Permits, access, materials, documentation, reporting and handover packs all run through you, so when a client asks where something is up to, you already have the answer.
This is a coordination and administration role first, and it's the best seat in the business for learning how fibre and data centre projects actually get delivered.
What You'll Be Doing
Owning the project tracker so nobody has to ask where a job is up to
Raising and chasing purchase orders, materials orders and delivery dates with suppliers
Lodging BYDA enquiries, council and road permits, and booking traffic control
Managing site access requests, inductions and security clearances for data centre and client sites, including client access portals and permit-to-work systems
Tracking compliance currency across internal techs and subcontractors, including site inductions, ACMA registration and data centre access tickets, so nobody turns up to a site they can't enter




Preparing and distributing work packs, splicing plans, SWMS and prestart documentation to field crews
Collecting dockets, timesheets, photos and test results and turning them into complete as-built and handover packs
Keeping client reporting and portals current, in their format, to their deadlines
Confirming crews, subcontractors and traffic control for the week ahead
Keeping the quote register moving and following up outstanding responses
Taking meeting minutes and then chasing the actions until they're closed
Making sure claim documentation is complete before it reaches accounts
Pitching in on general office and project admin as the NSW team grows
What You'll Need
Genuinely robust on a computer.
Excel with formulas, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and quick to pick up new client systems
Very good written and verbal communication.
In one day you'll write to a data centre client's project manager, a council, and a splicer standing in a pit, and you'll get the tone right for all three
Organised, and disciplined about it.
Nothing sits on your desk waiting
Someone who chases things without being asked twice
Comfortable juggling deadlines across several active projects at once
Administration or coordination experience in telecommunications, civil, utilities or construction
Ability to pass data centre site inductions and security/police checks as required by client sites
Highly regarded but not essential: data centre project exposure,



experience with client reporting portals, Smartsheet, and a Cert IV in Project Management or similar.
What We Offer
$85,000 to $95,000 plus super, depending on experience
When something goes sideways on a project, you'll have management who actually know fibre and know the field, not just spreadsheets.
You'll never be left guessing what a crew needs or what a client is really asking for
Genuine variety, live data centres, construction-phase builds and carrier network projects, so you're not administering the same job over and over
We back our people to upskill, with real support for Cert IV in Project Management, client systems training, and leadership development for those who want to grow
Clear progression as the business grows, we promote from within and we're not shy about it.
This role is built to lead into project management for the right person
Well-run, well-planned projects, so you spend your week getting ahead instead of firefighting
Laptop, phone and everything you need to do the job properly
Thornleigh office, easy access off the M2, walking distance to Thornleigh station, with on-site parking
A team that takes pride in doing things properly and actually enjoys the work
Stable, ongoing pipeline across data centre and carrier projects nationwide
ISO and CM3 accredited contractor working across numerous telco panels
Shortlisted candidates will complete a short practical exercise at interview, building a simple tracker and drafting a client update from a real email thread.
It takes about twenty minutes and it's the fairest way we know to see how someone actually works.
At Dantel you're not a number.
You'll be part of a team that backs its people, runs good projects, and gives you the room to grow as far as you want to take it.
