CoMade is a strategic partner specializing in mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation solutions within the infrastructure, energy, resources, and mining industries. As a project-delivery partner, their focus is on the pre-commissioning to operations phases of a project, offering rapid mobilization of specialist resources to deliver smart solutions for an efficient and effective start-up.

CoMade's vision is to become the foremost project delivery partner recognised for best-in-industry solutions. Strong culture and core values are what separate CoMade from the competition. They believe in building and setting a reputable culture, recognising, and rewarding their people who represent those core values either onsite, with clients, or in the local communities.

Great engineering delivery depends on solid systems behind it, and that's where you come in. As Project Support Lead on one of our key projects, you'll own the systems, processes and practices our team relies on to control, record, track and report its work. You'll lead the Project Support team across document control, QA systems, registers, client meetings, reporting and forecasting, making sure these systems are in place from day one and keep working for the life of the project.

You'll work closely with the Engineering Manager on all client-facing meetings, including our fortnightly client progress meetings. That means preparing the material beforehand, recording minutes and actions, and following every action through to close-out.

This role balances the immediate with the long term. Week to week and month to month, you'll keep document control, registers, meeting actions and reporting accurate and on time. Alongside this, you'll set up, improve and embed the project's tools and practices so they scale as work packages grow and our teams in India and Malaysia come on board.

By taking ownership of project systems, you'll free up the Design Manager, Engineering Manager and Package Managers to focus on what they do best: delivering the engineering.
