Green Star / Sustainability Coordinator — Construction

Green Star / Sustainability Coordinator — Construction

Established 20+year high-performing construction business seeking a Green Star / Sustainability Coordinator to run Green Star delivery across a live pipeline of Apartment, Hotel, Social Housing and Office projects to $400mil+. Good fit for a GSAP-accredited professional, or someone passionate and willing to get supported through accreditation. To then take real ownership across multiple projects, with the business's in-house Green Star expert on hand to support you.

The Role:

Flexible/hybrid — WFH, with a desk in head office.

Work closely with the business's in-house Green Star expert and get supported through accreditation if not already accredited.

Trusted, high-visibility role — you own each project's Green Star strategy from design through to certification.

Several live projects on the go at once, at different stages: early design, mid-construction, near-submission. A steady pipeline across different stages means broad exposure to the full Green Star lifecycle, not the same phase on repeat.

Advise project, design and site teams on Green Star credits, compliance risks and practical fixes.

Coordinate evidence from consultants, suppliers and subcontractors, and manage submissions through the GBCA online platform.

Review material selections, environmental certifications, drawings, specs and subcontractor documentation for compliance.

Monitor construction waste, indoor air quality, commissioning and sustainability targets. Run site inspections and training for project staff.

Direct line to clients, sustainability consultants and the GBCA.

A long-term, secure, stable role — Green Star requirements don't disappear once a project finishes.

The Company:

Established 20+ year commercial builder with a solid track record across Apartment, Hotel, Social Housing and Office projects to $400mil+.

In-house expertise already in place, so you're supported, not carrying it alone.





Flat management structure, open door mentality, always easily contactable.

Stable, approachable Senior Management team with over 10 years in business.

Reputation for high-quality builds, often delivered ahead of time.

Strong cash flow, invoices always paid on time.

Tight relationships with repeat Subcontractors, Consultants and Clients.

Unionised business with excellent IR.

Supportive team workplace, from Directors, to Management to Project staff.

Streamlined processes—no admin for the sake of admin.

Family-orientated, no-fuss, builder's-builder type of culture.

Regular reviews and rewards for valued employees.

Long-term staff retention (many 10+ year team members).

Known for being a great training ground for learning, mentoring and upskilling.

Known for promoting staff from within, many success stories of Senior Management coming from humble beginnings.

Ideal Candidate:

Current GSAP accreditation through the GBCA, or willing to be supported and earn accreditation.

Experience on Green Star-rated Apartment, Hotel, Social Housing or Office projects — having worked through GBCA submissions previosuly, with a certification achieved.

Solid working knowledge of Green Star Buildings requirements and the submission/certification process. Green Star Buildings v1.1 experience a bonus.

Hands-on experience preparing, reviewing and coordinating submissions and evidence, including via the GBCA platform.

Comfortable running sustainability plans, credit trackers and compliance registers.

Confident dealing directly with builders, subcontractors, consultants, architects and clients.

Good grasp of sustainable procurement, responsible products, waste management, indoor environmental quality and embodied-carbon requirements.

Builder or head contractor experience, and/or familiarity with NABERS, NatHERS, NCC energy-efficiency requirements and Victorian environmental regs, well regarded.

Life-cycle assessment, embodied-carbon reporting or climate-positive design knowledge a plus.
