As a Project Manager in the Security & Facilities team, you will report directly to the Director of Facilities and Security Services. This role will ensure the successful delivery of complex property and security-related projects and requires a high level of engagement and relationship management with stakeholders both internal and external to the Agency.

Key responsibilities include leading the Agency’s accommodation uplift projects across its Canberra, Sydney, and Brisbane office locations. You will also support the Agency’s program of work relating to protective security and coordinate broader business-as-usual tasks related to the administrative functions of the Facilities and Security team.
