Remote WA | FIFO 8/2 | Free Housing & Utilities | $95k+

Ready to do something that actually matters with the skills you've spent years building?

This isn't an office role, a production line, or another season on the same patch of land. It's a Project Coordinator position embedded in remote Aboriginal communities on the Ngaanyatjarra Lands in Western Australia - where your hands-on experience, practical mindset, and ability to get things done will count for more than any piece of paper.

You'll supervise Yarnangu participants in real community projects, manage budgets and timesheets, build employment pathways, and be the kind of steady, capable presence that makes a program run. If you've ever wanted to do meaningful work in a place most people never get to see, this is it.

The package - and yes, it's as good as it sounds

• $95,000+ negotiable on experience, plus a 5% remote lands allowance

• Free housing and utilities included - your two biggest living expenses, gone

• Chartered flights on your swings out

• 8 weeks on, 2 weeks off FIFO roster. That's approximately 10 weeks of scheduled time off country each year, plus your 4 weeks of annual leave on top - around 14 weeks out of the role annually

• Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm. Weekends are always yours

• 17.5% leave loading on accrued annual leave

• Salary sacrificing options available

• Vehicle, phone and laptop provided

When you run the numbers - no rent, no power bills, chartered flights covered, leave loading on top - this package punches well above the base figure.

Who we're looking for

You don't need a social work degree or a background in employment services. We're looking for people who know how to organise, supervise, problem-solve, and show up. The skills that make someone good at this role come from a lot of different places.

That might look like:

• A trade or construction background - you know how to run a worksite, manage people, and keep things moving safely

• Agriculture, farming or station work - you're used to remote conditions, practical problem solving, and getting results with limited resources

• Plant or machinery operation - you understand supervision, safety, and working with a team on the ground

Business administration, office coordination or project support - you're across budgets, reporting and keeping things compliant

• Community services, mentoring or youth work - even without formal qualifications, lived experience counts

• A creative or self-starter background - you've built something, run something, or found a way to make things work when there was no manual

What ties all this together is someone who can build genuine relationships with community members, hold people accountable with respect, stay on top of the admin, and bring energy to a role that genuinely needs it.

A current driver's license is required. Experience working with remote or Indigenous communities is an advantage but not a barrier to applying. If you want to work in the social services space and don't know where to start, this role is a genuine pathway in.

Where you'll be working

The Ngaanyatjarra Lands cover 250,000 square kilometres of the Central and Western Desert, home to approximately 1,800 Yarnangu (Ngaanyatjarra people) across 11 communities. The Ngaanyatjarra Council has represented and served these communities since 1981, delivering health, employment, construction, arts, retail and land services. It is one of the largest and most successful Aboriginal community-controlled organisations in Australia.

You'll be on country, working directly with participants, seeing the outcomes of your work in real time. This is not a role where you wonder if anything you did made a difference.

This role suits someone who wants more: more purpose, more space (literally), more autonomy, and a life that doesn't run on a treadmill.

If that's you, apply now or reach out with any questions.
