The available position will provide policy and project support by coordinating reporting requirements for the project, engaging with workstreams, and commercial and legal advisers to develop policy positions on a range of matters, and draft and deliver a suite of documents to support the project.

The successful applicant must have excellent written and oral skills, with the ability to collaborate with a range of stakeholders to achieve results in a high-pressure environment.

Our Branch is a fun place to work, where people enjoy a laugh and are self-motivated, team players and results driven. This role will be suited to those with a can-do attitude, who will contribute to a positive workplace culture and enjoy achieving results. This is a great opportunity for someone wanting to get a taste of working in a fast-paced and high-profile project.
