SharePoint Front-End Developer

Overview

Location: Remote (Melbourne-based preferred, but open to anywhere in Australia)
Start: ASAP
Duration: Initial 1–2 weeks (with ad hoc ongoing work through to end of 2025)
Client: Education sector (government)

We’re looking for a freelance Front-End Developer with SharePoint experience to help build a new intranet site for a major internal project within a well-known education provider. This will be a hands-on role, working closely with the project consultant (ex-Marketing Manager and creative lead) to bring the vision to life.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Building an intranet site using Microsoft SharePoint within an Office 365 environment (single sign-on access).

• Developing custom front-end components such as tables, Gantt charts, project timelines, and a media centre/blog for ongoing video and photo content updates.

• Ensuring the site is built in a way that makes it easy for internal teams to update content themselves.

• Collaborating with internal IT teams to access back-end systems – no need to manage security or hosting yourself.

• Providing occasional ongoing support for site updates or feature tweaks after the initial build.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has strong front-end development skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and experience customising SharePoint Online.

• Has previous experience building intranets, project dashboards, or CMS-style sites within SharePoint.

• Is familiar with SharePoint’s quirks and happy to work with existing IT infrastructure.

• Communicates clearly, is easy to collaborate with, and can work independently when needed.

• Is available to start within the next 2–3 weeks.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience building interactive Gantt charts or complex data tables.

• An eye for design to help faithfully translate static designs into functional pages.
