Queensland Trucking Association – Brisbane QLD

The Queensland Trucking Association (QTA) is looking for a capable and highly organised Project Coordinator to support the delivery of workforce development, training and industry skills initiatives across Queensland.

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative team working closely with employers, training organisations and industry partners to deliver practical projects that strengthen the road freight industry's workforce and build skills for the future.

We're looking for someone who doesn't just wait to be told what needs doing. You are naturally proactive, take pride in getting the details right, anticipate what needs attention and enjoy making things happen.

You'll play an important role in keeping projects on track, coordinating people and activities, maintaining accurate records and ensuring project commitments are delivered and properly documented.

If you enjoy variety, working with people and bringing structure and momentum to busy projects, this could be the opportunity for you.

Reporting to the Industry Skills and Jobs Engagement Manager, you will coordinate the day-to-day activities and administration of QTA's workforce, training and industry skills projects.

Working across multiple initiatives, you'll help manage project schedules, coordinate stakeholder activities, monitor milestones, maintain records and support reporting and compliance requirements.

You'll also engage directly with employers, participants and delivery partners, developing an understanding of their needs and ensuring they receive responsive, practical support.





This role is suited to someone who combines solid organisational and administrative capability with good people skills, initiative and an understanding of how small and medium-sized businesses operate.
