An opportunity is available for an experienced Construction Coordinator to provide client-side construction leadership across major brownfield capital projects within an operating processing and refining environment.

Reporting to the Construction Manager, you will coordinate multidisciplinary construction activities across Civil, Structural, Mechanical and Piping (SMP), Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I;), while driving completions, commissioning readiness and safe handover to Operations.

This is a hands-on site leadership role requiring strong brownfield construction experience, contractor management capability and the ability to work effectively across construction, engineering, operations, maintenance and commissioning teams.

The Role

You will provide client-side oversight from construction readiness and mobilisation through execution, completion, commissioning support and operational handover.

Key responsibilities include

- Provide visible safety leadership across all project work fronts.
- Coordinate Civil, SMP and E&I; contractors against approved scope, schedule, quality and project requirements.
- Drive construction readiness, including work fronts, access, materials, permits, isolations, temporary facilities and contractor resourcing.
- Provide construction input into design, constructability, readiness and risk reviews.
- Monitor contractor productivity, quality, schedule performance and resource loading.
- Review construction methodologies, work packs, lift plans, risk assessments, ITPs and execution plans.
- Manage brownfield interfaces including live plant, existing services,



underground utilities, shutdowns and operational constraints.
- Coordinate interfaces across Operations, Maintenance, Engineering, HSE, Quality, Project Controls, Procurement and Commissioning.
- Conduct field inspections and monitor contractor QA/QC, surveillance, non-conformances and corrective actions.
- Review ITRs, MDRs, test certificates, redline mark-ups, as-built drawings and vendor documentation.
- Drive progression through Construction Complete, Mechanical Completion, Ready for Commissioning, Ready for Start-Up and Practical Completion.
- Support commissioning, operational readiness and safe handover to Operations.

About You You will be an experienced construction professional with a strong background delivering major capital works in brownfield industrial environments.

To be successful, you will bring:

- A relevant trade qualification.
- A minimum of 10 years' experience within mining, processing, refining or heavy industrial facilities.
- Demonstrated client-side experience on major capital projects.
- Extensive brownfield construction experience.
- Experience leading completions and commissioning programs.
- Strong QA/QC surveillance, documentation and close-out capability.




- Experience managing contractors on major industrial projects.
- Familiarity with Australian Standards, statutory electrical requirements and site electrical rules.
- Robust construction safety leadership and risk management capability.
- The ability to engage effectively with contractors, project teams, Operations and Maintenance stakeholders.

Experience within alumina refining, mineral processing, chemical processing, oil and gas, LNG or power generation environments will be highly regarded. Exposure to hazardous areas, major shutdowns, brownfield tie-ins and operational readiness will also be advantageous, as will experience with completions and project control systems such as Compleo, Hexagon SDx, PIMS, TeamBinder, InEight, Aconex or Coreworx.

PLC or DCS experience across platforms such as Allen Bradley, Siemens, Schneider, ABB, Honeywell, Yokogawa or Emerson would also be advantageous.

Your Project Experience

Your background may include multidisciplinary capital projects involving processing or refining facilities, mineral handling infrastructure, civil and utilities works, pump stations, water treatment facilities, substations and HV distribution, control system upgrades, plant expansions, shutdowns and brownfield tie-ins.

This role will suit a construction professional who can combine robust field leadership with disciplined construction assurance, contractor coordination and a clear focus on safely progressing projects through construction, commissioning and handover.
