• An understanding of how trade or construction projects run, including purchasing, variations and project documentation.
• Strong attention to detail and confidence working with numbers and records.
• Clear communication skills and a friendly, professional approach.

• A full-time role with an established Queensland business.
• $80,000 plus superannuation, depending on experience.
• A supportive team and direct involvement with our project managers.
• Varied electrical projects and opportunities to develop your skills.
