Supporting the Canberra Office Lead with client-facing activities, local office coordination, communications, administration and initiatives that strengthen office culture and engagement.
Coordinating Canberra events, large meetings, workshops and workplace activations, ensuring they are well planned, professionally delivered and aligned to business needs.
Managing day-to-day facilities operations, including maintenance, suppliers, cleaning, catering, stationery, storage, PPE, car parking, fleet and general workplace services.
Managing health, safety and compliance activities, including Donesafe reporting, workplace inspections, ISO audit requirements, fire warden and first aider coordination, corrective actions and accurate record keeping.
Acting as a key point of contact for workplace services, responding to staff, visitor and stakeholder needs including access, passes, room support, IT/AV triage, WiFi, lockers, archiving and general office requests.
Supporting Canberra client and business development administration, including CMS updates, tender site monitoring, proposal support, project coordination and local market information where required.
Providing practical coordination support for Canberra leadership, including calendar coordination, meeting preparation, minute taking, action follow-up and general office administration.
Supporting major and minor Canberra workplace projects, including fitout activity, office improvements, stakeholder coordination, supplier follow-up and project administration.

Proven experience in a people-centric, client, customer service or workplace environment, with the ability to deliver a consistently high standard of service.
Demonstrated capability or exposure to facilities, operations or workplace coordination activities, such as maintenance coordination, compliance tasks, asset or fleet administration.
Experience supporting or delivering events, hospitality or workplace activations will be highly regarded, but is not essential.
Comfortable working across both front of house and operational responsibilities, balancing service delivery with practical execution.
Ability to quickly learn and confidently use digital workplace systems and tools (e.g. booking systems, asset registers, collaboration platforms).
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, including clear and professional written communication.
A collaborative team player with the confidence to work with stakeholders at all levels, including vendors, contractors and internal teams.
Personable, proactive and enthusiastic, with a genuine passion for creating welcoming, inclusive and well-run workplaces.
Self-starter who is adaptable and resilient, who thrives in a fast-paced environment where priorities span experience, operations and compliance.
The role is physically demanding and includes tasks such as lifting/moving light furniture and moving stock, bending, reaching, and standing or walking for extended periods.
Aurecon’s strength has always been our people. It’s our people who build our shared purpose and bring ideas to life.
