Project Coordinator – Transformation

Centacare | Brisbane | Hybrid Working | 12-Month Fixed-Term Contract, with strong possibility of extension

Keep projects moving. Connect the details. Help transformation land well.

Centacare is looking for an experienced Project Coordinator to join our Transformation Team on a 12-month fixed-term contract, with a strong possibility of extension. We’re looking for someone who is warm, approachable and a genuinely strong communicator — someone who enjoys working with people, asks thoughtful questions and is eager to learn.

This role sits in an interesting space between being guided by experienced Project Managers and taking real ownership of coordinating complex processes. You’ll have support and direction around you, but you’ll also be trusted to keep work moving, bring structure to multiple workstreams, follow up actions and make sure the detail doesn’t get lost.

You’ll be curious, organised and comfortable learning as you go. You won’t be expected to know everything from day one, but you will need the confidence to ask questions, build relationships and gradually take greater ownership as your understanding grows.

It’s a great chance for someone who enjoys being the person who connects people, information and actions — bringing warmth to relationships and discipline to the way projects are coordinated.

You’ll need solid project coordination experience, strong working knowledge of at least one project management platform, and strong experience managing project documentation, document control and project repositories.

You’ll be someone who understands the importance of having the right document, in the right place, with the right version — and making sure the wider project team can actually find it when they need it.
