The opportunity
Not every job fits neatly behind a desk. This one definitely doesn’t.
We’re looking for an HSR Supervisor / Coordinator to support Hard Surface Reinstatement works across Victoria’s water industry.
You’ll split your time between the field and office, assessing reinstatement jobs, coordinating subcontractors, dealing with customers and making sure works are delivered safely, efficiently and to the standard expected.
You might be assessing the impact of a water job on a road or footpath one minute, working through a contractor issue the next, then checking completed works before closing out the job.
It’s a role with plenty of moving parts and plenty of autonomy. If you’re organised, practical and enjoy sorting things out rather than waiting for someone else to do it, you’ll feel right at home.
What you’ll do
- Assess reinstatement jobs and determine scope, surface impacts and site requirements
- Capture site photos, measurements, hazards and traffic or community impacts
- Coordinate subcontractors to deliver safe, quality and value-for-money works
- Inspect and audit completed works against contract and quality standards
- Help plan, prioritise and schedule maintenance and minor project works
- Manage customer cases and support contract KPI reporting
- Build strong relationships with clients, contractors, crews and the wider project team
- Support continuous improvement and smarter ways of delivering HSR works
- Keep safety front of mind across every site and interaction
What we offer
- A role that gets you out into the field instead of sitting behind a desk five days a week
- Plenty of autonomy to organise your day and take ownership of your work
- Exposure to Victoria’s water infrastructure and maintenance programs
- Variety across inspections, contractors, customers and project coordination
- Suite of Downer benefits, including health and wellness initiatives
- Opportunity to build your career within a major infrastructure business
What we’re looking for
- Around 5 years’ experience across works coordination, project delivery or similar
- Water industry maintenance or minor works experience will be highly regarded
- Confidence coordinating subcontractors and keeping work on track
- Strong customer focus and the ability to deal professionally with members of the public
- Clear written and verbal communication skills
- Someone organised enough to manage the detail without losing sight of the bigger picture
- A proactive approach and the confidence to pick up an issue and see it through
- Most importantly, someone who enjoys variety, people and problem-solving
