We care for over 42,000 animals annually, relying on the generosity of animal lovers like you to fund 91% of our life-changing services.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Project Coordinator to help deliver our new Redlands Wildlife Hospital, bringing together the people, plans and decisions needed to make it happen.

Representing RSPCA Queensland throughout the project, you’ll work closely with our appointed Principal Consultant and Project Manager, government stakeholders and internal teams to keep delivery on track. You’ll help ensure the hospital is delivered safely, within budget and on schedule, with the needs of our wildlife teams reflected along the way.

This is a varied role that combines practical project coordination with relationship management and oversight. You’ll work alongside our Wildlife Transformation Manager to ensure the facility supports how our teams will operate and the long-term vision for wildlife services.

If you enjoy bringing structure to complex projects, working with different people and seeing plans become something tangible, this could be a great fit.

Please note: This role is a fixed-term (2 years), part-time opportunity, working 3 days per week.

What We’re Looking For

You’re someone who naturally brings order to moving parts. You like having a clear plan, knowing who’s doing what and following through to make sure things happen. When priorities shift or challenges come up, you stay calm, work through the options and help find a way forward.





You’re approachable and confident working with different people, from technical specialists and contractors to government representatives and colleagues. You listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions and can bring people together when their priorities don’t quite align. You’re also comfortable having honest conversations and holding people accountable while maintaining positive working relationships.

You take ownership and use your initiative, with the judgement to know what you can resolve and when to bring others in. You can get across the detail, explain what matters clearly and keep the bigger picture in view.

Above all, you take pride in your work and share our passion for animal welfare. You’re motivated by the opportunity to put your skills towards something meaningful and help deliver a hospital that will support Queensland’s wildlife for years to come.

- Coordinate project activities across planning, design, procurement, construction and commissioning.

- Provide updates and milestones to support fundraising, donor engagement and project communications.
- Work with the Wildlife Transformation Manager on equipment planning, operational readiness, commissioning and handover.
- Promote safe project delivery and maintain accurate records for assurance, auditing and reporting.
