A rare opportunity for an ambitious, capable administrator
We're a privately owned business group with interests spanning civil infrastructure, property development, commercial services, premium home staging and styling, and emerging tourism ventures.
We're looking for a Project Administrator to work closely with our founder and support a portfolio of growth and startup businesses across the group.
This is a hands-on, varied role for someone early in their career who is looking for a genuine long-term opportunity to grow.
This is not a typical admin role.
You'll be trusted with real responsibility from day one, working across projects, communications, stakeholder relationships and social media, with the support and mentorship to grow into a broader operations career.
About the role
Working closely with the founder, you'll help keep multiple projects and businesses organised, on track and moving forward.
You'll be the kind of person who is organised, skilled, and comfortable representing the business in person, as well as online.
You'll build relationships with clients, partners and suppliers, help manage our social media presence, and support the smooth day-to-day running of a diverse and growing business portfolio.
What you'll be responsible for
• Providing day-to-day project administration and support to the founder across multiple businesses
• Coordinating schedules, meetings, correspondence and follow-up actions
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, partners and other stakeholders
• Attending in-person meetings and representing the business professionally
• Managing and growing our social media presence across the group
• Preparing clear, skilled documents, presentations and correspondence
• Helping set up and maintain simple systems, trackers and workflows
• Supporting business development activity, including proposals and opportunity tracking
• Liaising with directors, clients,



consultants, suppliers and agents
• Taking initiative to solve problems and keep projects moving
What we're looking for
Someone making their first move into project management, or a year or two in and ready for more responsibility, who is genuinely excited by the opportunity to learn and grow within a founder-led business.
You will likely bring:
• Strong initiative and a proactive, can-do attitude
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A professional, polished presentation, comfortable in face-to-face meetings
• Confidence managing relationships with clients, partners and stakeholders
• Good working knowledge of social media platforms
• Solid Microsoft Office skills (Word, PowerPoint, Excel)
• A genuine willingness to learn, take on responsibility and grow with the role
• A calm, organised, solutions-focused approach
Highly regarded (but not essential):
• Exposure to construction, property, design, manufacturing or tourism
• Experience working in a start up / scale up business
• An interest in business, growth and how companies operate
• Experience with Canva or similar design tools
Why this role is different
This is a genuine opportunity to learn directly from a founder across multiple industries and build a long-term career in operations, project management or business development.
For the right person, this role offers:
• Direct exposure to business leadership and decision-making
• Real responsibility and variety from day one
• Broad experience across multiple industries
• Genuine career growth as you develop and prove yourself
• A supportive, high-trust environment to build your skills
To apply
Please submit your resume together with a short cover letter outlining:
• Your relevant experience
• Why this prospect interests you
• The types of environments in which you perform best
• Your salary expectations
Australian work rights are required for this position.
