About the Role

This is a fixed-term opportunity through to 30 September 2027, offering the chance to play a key role in a high-profile national programme that will leave a lasting impact on New Zealand's critical communications infrastructure.

As a Project Coordinator, you'll support the delivery of projects across multiple regions within the Public Safety Network programme. Working in a fast-paced and constantly evolving environment, you'll take ownership of coordinating activities, managing stakeholders, maintaining project controls, and ensuring delivery milestones remain on track.

Prepare and maintain project documentation, reporting, and governance records.

Organise meetings, track actions, and ensure timely follow-through on commitments.

Support procurement and financial administration activities, including POs and invoice processing.

Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to enhance project delivery and governance processes.

About You

To be successful in this role, you'll bring proven experience supporting the delivery of complex projects in a large-scale programme environment. You're highly organised, proactive, and skilled at managing competing priorities while maintaining a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.

You excel at building relationships, coordinating across multiple stakeholders, and keeping projects moving forward. Experience within infrastructure, telecommunications, or large-scale programme delivery environments, along with exposure to project reporting tools, procurement processes, and project controls, will be highly regarded.

5+ years' experience in Project Coordination, Project Support, or a similar project delivery role.

Experience supporting large-scale infrastructure, telecommunications, or other complex multi-disciplinary programmes.

Strong planning, scheduling, and organisational skills, with the ability to coordinate multiple workstreams simultaneously.

Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the confidence to work effectively across diverse teams and delivery partners.
