Role Overview

This full-time, on-site Senior Project Coordinator position is based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The role is centred on coordinating and driving the delivery of fit-out and finishes packages on construction projects, with a strong emphasis on programme control, documentation, subcontractor coordination, quality, and compliance.

What You Bring

To be effective in this role, you should have either tertiary or certificate-level qualifications in construction or a related discipline, or at least 5 years of relevant industry experience. You will need hands-on experience delivering fit-out and finishes scopes on commercial or residential projects valued at $10M or more, along with a solid grasp of construction drawings, specifications, and finishes-related scope requirements. Strong technical knowledge of fit-out systems and materials such as flooring, joinery, cladding, and ceiling systems is important, as is proven experience coordinating subcontractors and site activities. You should also have a sound understanding of safety, quality control, and construction compliance, together with the ability to manage documentation, reporting, and site records carefully. Clear communication skills are essential for working with internal teams, subcontractors, and other stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you will support the Project Manager and Senior Site Manager with planning, scheduling, and day-to-day coordination of site works. You will monitor fit-out and finishes progress against programme, identify delays or other issues, and help keep delivery on track. The role also involves maintaining accurate records for materials, subcontractor activity, inspections, and completed work, while reviewing drawings, specifications, and material schedules to ensure the work matches the project scope.

You will track variations or scope changes and communicate them to the Project Manager, coordinate subcontractors across fit-out and finishes trades, and make sure installation happens on time. You will attend site meetings and inspections linked to joinery, flooring, finishes, and similar works, and ensure subcontractors meet expectations for safety, quality, and programme. A key part of the job is inspecting work for compliance with specifications, design intent, and quality standards, identifying defects in elements such as flooring, cabinetry, and other finishes, and making sure all work follows building codes, project requirements, and DCOH safety systems.

The role also includes carrying out safety inspections and audits, ensuring SWMS and safe work practices are followed, keeping orderly site documentation such as checklists, coordination logs, and quality records, and working with consultants, designers, and subcontractors to resolve design and access issues. You will be expected to build strong working relationships with subcontractors, suppliers, and stakeholders, contribute to a collaborative team culture, and represent DCOH professionally at all times.
