Sydney Olympic Park, New South Wales 2127, Australia • A$80,000 - A$85,000 Full-time Permanent Support Office Posted 21 Sep 2026
Since 1998, El Jannah has been serving up legendary charcoal chicken with heart. More than two decades on, our bold flavours, generous portions and energetic restaurants continue to create memorable experiences that guests love across Australia. We're one of the fastest-growing restaurant brands in the country, with new stores opening and new markets opening up all the time. Our people are the heart of that growth, and there's never been a better time to be part of it.
About the Role
This is an entry level role for someone who has recently graduated and/or has up to 12 months experience under their belt. As our Construction Project Coordinator, you'll play a hands-on part in delivering new El Jannah restaurants from concept through to opening day. Reporting into our Project Manager, you'll split your time between office-based administration and on-site coordination, working closely with builders, contractors, certifiers, and councils to make sure every new restaurant meets our quality, safety, and compliance standards. With new stores opening across Australia all the time, there's no shortage of projects to sink your teeth into.
What You'll Be Doing
- Managing the approvals and certification process, liaising with certifiers, councils, and builders to secure Occupation Certificates
- Coordinating project documentation, schedules, and budgets in line with Construction Manager timelines
- Conducting site visits to track progress, identify defects, and ensure issues are resolved before handover
- Building strong working relationships with builders, contractors, Franchise Partners, and regulatory bodies
- Supporting on-site coordination and assisting with permits and approvals across multiple states
- Keeping projects moving by staying across timelines, chasing actions, and flagging risks early
What We're Looking For
- Experience in an administration or coordination role, ideally within construction, QSR, or retail environments
- Knowledge of state construction regulations and approvals processes highly regarded
- Qualifications in Project Management, Property, or Business desirable but not essential
- Highly organised, detail-oriented, and a proactive problem solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment
- Confident communicator with councils, contractors, and internal teams
- Willingness to travel and support projects on-site as needed
See your work open its doors. Every restaurant you help deliver will be full of guests enjoying legendary food. There aren't many coordination roles where the end result is that tangible.
A growing pipeline of projects. We're opening new restaurants across Australia at pace, which means genuine variety and a steady pipeline of work to keep you challenged and growing.
A collaborative team around you. You'll work closely with an experienced Construction Manager and have the support of Property, Operations, and Franchising teams behind you.
A brand worth being proud of. El Jannah has a fiercely loyal guest base and a culture your colleagues will genuinely enjoy being part of. When guests return week after week, that means something.
El Jannah is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all team members. Apply now and bring your next chapter to life with El Jannah.
