Construction Administrator | Albury

Are you a detail-focused, organised professional looking for a varied, hands‑on role where your welcoming personality, initiative, and teamwork are truly valued?

At G.J. Gardner Homes Albury, you are not just here to do admin; you are here to keep builds moving. Proudly owned and operated by Leigh and Sherrie, our dedicated local team is committed to helping families build homes that suit their lifestyle and vision.

• National Brand Power, Local Care: Enjoy the security of an award‑winning national builder paired with the warmth, care, and agility of a locally owned business.

• Established Systems & Structure: Step into proven, world‑class operational frameworks that already exist - your role is to refine and improve them, never build from scratch.

• Competitive Remuneration: Attractive package tailored to reflect your administrative skills and construction support experience.

The Behaviours We Hire For

• Act with Integrity: Do what you say you will do and remain dependable across every detail.

• Practice Empathy: Listen with care and understand client milestones and trade perspectives.

• Strive to be Better: Bring proactive energy, take initiative, and look for ways to sharpen daily processes.

• Succeed through Collaboration: Communicate openly, back up teammates, and celebrate shared wins.

What You'll Be Doing

• End-to-End Build Coordination: Actively drive pre‑construction workflows - keeping documentation flowing so builds never stall.

• Client Reception & Hospitality: Warmly greet office visitors, manage incoming calls, coordinate meeting refreshments, and maintain professional client presentation spaces.

• Colours & Variations: Book and confirm colour consultations, enter selections and updated specifications, and accurately process client variations.

• Construction Coordination: Track cabinetry plans, coordinate signed heating/cooling and tile layouts, arrange site bin collections, and issue construction keys to trades.

• Handover & Compliance: Assemble handover packs, follow up trade compliance certificates (e.g., gas and electrical), attend handovers, and coordinate 3‑month maintenance schedules.

• General Operations Support: Maintain client job lists, update builder portals and Google Drive folders, order office supplies and client handover gifts, and participate in daily team rhythms.

What You'll Bring

• Meticulous Attention to Detail: High accuracy in managing specifications, tracking documentation, and updating job files without letting details slip.

• Warm Communication: Professional, approachable phone manner and face‑to‑face presentation with clients, suppliers, and site trades.

• Organisational Skills: Proven ability to prioritise tasks, manage calendars, and balance multiple project deadlines.

• Accountability & Initiative: A proactive mindset, comfortable taking ownership of daily tasks, solving practical problems, and asking questions when needed.

• Tech Confidence: Competent across Google Drive, email, and administrative software (residential building or real estate experience is a plus, but attitude and culture fit are top priority).

Why Join G.J. Gardner Homes Albury?

The team offer a welcoming environment where your contributions are recognised every day. You will play a vital operational role in driving build momentum while helping local clients bring their dream homes to life.
