Job description

South West Rocks | Full-time | Training Provided

Ready to start a career - not just get a job?

We're looking for a young, motivated and switched-on Junior Construction Administrator to join our team and become an important part of a large-scale residential development in South West Rocks.

This is an opportunity for someone at the beginning of their career who is keen to learn, wants to get ahead and is excited by the idea of building a career in the construction industry.

No construction experience is necessary.

You might be a school leaver, recent graduate, have some office/admin experience, or be working in another industry and ready to take your next step.

What matters most is your attitude, initiative and willingness to learn.

What you'll be doing

You'll work closely with our experienced Construction Administration Manager, learning the ins and outs of construction administration while helping keep a busy residential project organised and moving forward.

Your day-to-day work will include things like:

• - Project and construction administration
• - Document control and maintaining project records
• - Subcontractor administration
• - Purchase orders and invoices
• - Tracking project progress and documentation
• - Council and compliance documentation
• - Using construction software and systems
• - General office and project support
• - Communicating with supervisors, contractors and suppliers

You'll receive hands-on training and mentoring, so you don't need to know construction before you start.

We're looking for someone who is:

• - Organised and switched-on
• - A quick learner who enjoys picking up new skills
• - Confident using computers and technology
• - Comfortable with basic Excel, Word and Outlook
• - A confident communicator
• - Reliable and willing to take responsibility
• - Naturally organised and detail-focused
• - Happy to ask questions and learn from others
• - Someone who takes initiative rather than waiting to be told what to do
• - Ambitious and genuinely interested in building a career
• - Positive, energetic and keen to succeed

What you'll get

This is a genuine opportunity to learn from the ground up.

You'll work directly with an experienced Construction Administration Manager who will mentor you and teach you the skills you need to become confident in construction administration.

You'll gain:

• - Hands-on training and mentoring
• - Real experience on a large residential construction project
• - Experience with construction software and systems
• - An understanding of how construction projects are actually delivered
• - Skills you can build a long-term career on
• - Opportunities to grow as your skills and experience develop
• - A supportive team environment where your ideas and contribution are valued

Could this be you?

Maybe you're finishing school and have no idea what career you want yet.

Maybe you've completed TAFE or university and want to get your foot in the door.

Maybe you're working in retail or hospitality but know you're capable of more.

Or maybe you're simply the person who is always organised, loves getting things done and wants someone to give you an opportunity.

We're looking for potential, not a long list of qualifications.

We can teach construction. We can teach the systems. We can teach the processes.

What we can't teach is drive, initiative, reliability and the desire to succeed.

Local opportunity

This position is based in South West Rocks, with applicants from South West Rocks, Kempsey, the Macleay Valley and surrounding Mid North Coast areas encouraged to apply.
