Job description

At Austral Construction, we’re Driven by people. Defined by delivery.

Our people are at the heart of our success. Guided by our values of Safety, People, Integrity and Excellence, we work together to solve complex challenges and deliver high-quality civil and marine infrastructure across Australia.

With a proud history of delivering for clients across the infrastructure, resources and marine sectors, we offer our people the opportunity to take ownership, build their capability and contribute to projects that make a lasting impact.

Austral Construction is part of Keller Group plc, the world’s largest geotechnical specialist contractor, giving our people the backing of a global organisation while retaining the hands‑on culture and delivery focus that defines Austral.

We are currently seeking an organised and proactive site‑based FIFO Site Administrator to join our busy team on a 2:1 FIFO roster from Perth.

We are seeking an organised and proactive Site Administrator to provide administrative, mobilisation, travel, procurement and project support to our site‑based teams. This is a dynamic role suited to someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and enjoys being the central point of coordination for project administration activities.

About the Role

Reporting to the Project Coordinator and working closely with the Superintendent and Project Manager, the Site Administrator will support the day‑to‑day administration of our project sites on a 2:1 FIFO roster, with a strong focus on employee and contractor mobilisation, travel and accommodation coordination, and workforce logistics.

The role is responsible for ensuring systems, records and site requirements are maintained accurately and efficiently while contributing to the smooth operation of project activities and supporting project teams across all administrative functions.

Why Austral

At Austral, we don’t just deliver projects - we take on the complex work others can’t.

From marine structures to complex civil infrastructure, we self‑perform the hard parts. That means you’re not sitting on the sidelines - you’re in it, building capability, making decisions, and seeing the result of your work on the ground.

Backed by Keller Group plc, we combine global expertise with a hands‑on, Australian delivery mindset.

Key Responsibilities will include (but not be limited to):

• Coordinate employee, contractor and visitor onboarding and mobilisation requirements
• Arrange travel, accommodation, medicals, training, PPE and site access requirements
• Maintain project rosters, mobilisation records and training matrices
• Maintain timesheets and update data for weekly wages processing
• Raise purchase order requisitions as required
• Provide professional administrative support to project teams, clients, subcontractors and suppliers

About You

We're looking for someone who:

• Is highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Has excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Is confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook, Word and Excel
• Can manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines
• Takes initiative and enjoys working as part of a team
• Has a positive attitude and willingness to learn

Experience

The following would be beneficial but is not essential:

• Previous administration experience
• Experience in construction, mining, civil or project environments
• Exposure to rosters, mobilisation, travel bookings or document control

Position Requirements

To be successful in this role, you will ideally possess the following qualifications, skills and attributes:

• Must be based in Western Australia
• Australian work rights are required

What We Offer

• Attractive salary + 41% uplift on base salary
• 2:1 FIFO roster
• Supportive and collaborative team environment
• Opportunity to develop your skills and build a long‑term career
• Exposure to a variety of projects and operations
• Ongoing training and development opportunities
