Embedded within a high-performing capital works division, you will provide critical operational, financial, and administrative support across a multi-million-dollar portfolio of civil works, roads, transport, and structural infrastructure projects. This role is ideal for a proactive project administrator who thrives in a fast-paced environment and understands government governance frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• Track project milestones, schedules, and deliverables across civil infrastructure lifecycle phases (planning, design, procurement, and construction).
• Draft, review, and assemble high-quality briefing notes, Ministerial correspondence, procurement papers, and submissions aligned with Queensland Government standards.
• Assist in the administration of Detailed Business Cases (DBCs) and business cases for complex, large-scale civil works.
• Process transactional project data, monitor cash flows, perform variance analysis, and generate accurate expenditure reports within Content Manager (eDRMS) and Aurion.
• Analyze contract claims, variations, and risk registers to assist Project Managers and Directors in budget control and risk mitigation.
• Provide comprehensive secretariat support for Project Steering Committees and inter-agency working groups, maintaining accurate records, action logs, and reporting packs.

What You'll Need to Succeed

• Demonstrated experience providing administrative or coordination support within civil infrastructure, capital works, or public sector project environments (AO4 level equivalent).
• Strong working knowledge of government processes, project governance, and capital allocation frameworks.
• High-level competency in Microsoft Excel (advanced financial modeling/data analysis) and Word, along with hands-on experience using eDRMS platforms (e.g., Content Manager / TRIM) and corporate ERPs (e.g., Aurion, SAP).
• Excellent written communication skills with the ability to draft clear, concise executive correspondence and technical documentation for senior stakeholders.
• Proven ability to interpret financial data, contractual documents, and project schedules to identify risks and resolve reporting variances independently.

What's on Offer

• $62.90 per hour + superannuation.
• Central Brisbane Office location
• Weekly pay cycles, dedicated consultant support, confidential EAP access, and exclusive contractor discounts (Myer, Woolworths, JB Hi-Fi, and more).
