Lead Project Enablement Coach

About the role

At APA, our purpose is to secure Australia's energy future. We're not doing it alone. We're doing it with our customers and communities as Australia's energy infrastructure partner, a role our unique experience and expertise positions us to play. We have an exciting opportunity for a Lead Project Enablement Coach to join our Energy Solutions team on a 2-year maximum term contract, supporting our exciting pipeline of growth projects. Reporting to the Manager, Improvement & Performance, this role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution, working directly within cross-functional project teams to strengthen how outcomes are delivered. This is a coaching-led role, focused on enabling sustained behavioural change rather than enforcing process. You will work alongside project leaders and teams to observe how work is actually delivered-identifying where behaviours, decision-making and ways of working are either enabling or constraining performance. Through real-time insight and targeted coaching, you will help teams shift towards one-team, high-performance behaviours-improving clarity of decisions, reducing internal friction, and reinforcing a customer focus. Success in this role is not measured by process adoption, but by more disciplined execution, better decisions, and stronger, more consistent delivery outcomes across our growth portfolio. The role can be based in Brisbane or Perth, with flexible and hybrid working options available. The Improvement & Performance team operates at the intersection of strategy, execution and performance, partnering across APA's major development, commercial and customer-facing functions for improved business delivery outcomes. The team plays a critical role in shaping and informing strategy through data-driven insights, while also working hands-on with teams to ensure that strategy translates into practical, consistent and high-quality execution. With a strong focus on real-world outcomes, the team identifies performance drivers, removes friction, and embeds ways of working that enable better decision-making, stronger alignment and improved customer and commercial results across the organisation's growth agenda.
