My Client, a leading organisation within the NSW Rail industry, is seeking a Senior Project Coordinator to join their Business Transformation PMO team.
This is a hybrid role, whereby you will be required to go into the office 3 days a week. The office is located in North West Sydney, so if this doesn't suit you, please don't apply.
They also need someone to start ASAP, so if you have a one month notice period, I'm sorry, this isn't the job for you. They will wait 2 weeks max but will show preference to candidates who are immediately available.
Now that's out of the way, let's talk about the job! :)
In the role, you will perform project management coordination, support activities and manage the PMO reporting requirements. The role will contribute to the development and delivery of a range of projects in line with established objectives.
Working collaboratively with project teams, as well as internal & external stakeholders, you will coordinate the development of project-related information for the efficient and on-time delivery of projects.
Key Challenges & Responsibilities:
- Managing time and prioritising issues given a constant range of issues and competing demands
- Collaborating with project team members to ensure that information and reporting are current, timely and relevant
- Working cooperatively and pro-actively with internal and external stakeholders interfacing with the PMO and building solid working relationships and partnerships
Required Experience:
- Proven experience in the development of continuous improvement initiatives
- At least 3 years of demonstrated work experience in a Project Coordinator or Project Manager role, ideally with experience using the PMBOK framework.
- Interfacing with people and stakeholders, including consulting with peers and stakeholders, negotiation, and persuasion to reach an agreement.
- Experience in major project delivery with government clients and/or the private sector. Rail/Transport industry experience is a plus.
- Experience working with executive and senior management teams in complex environments.
- Experience in the design and delivery of organisation-wide change management programs.
- Experience in managing and applying the commercial instruments that govern project delivery.
Soft Skills:
- Drive and ability to learn and adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment.
- Accountable, strong minded, and willing to take ownership.
- Great people skills and high emotional intelligence, with the ability to work effectively with stakeholders both internally and externally.
- Excellent verbal & written communication skills
Why should you apply?
- You will join a growing PMO team with an exciting pipeline of very high-profile projects that will be fun to work on and look great on your CV. Whilst this would start as a 3 month contract, there is very high likelihood of extension.
- The culture and team are absolutely lovely. It's a calm, friendly, supportive environment. Yes, it's fast paced and there are deadlines, but you will be treated well and will not be put under any undue pressure or unrealistic expectations. You will enjoy a good work life balance.
- There will be lots of opportunity to learn of some top-class people and progress your career further!
This is an URGENT role, where they needed someone to start yesterday, so if you have the right skills & experience, please don't hesitate to apply today!
