A reliable, long-term role at the centre of our operations

Oldfields Scaffolding is seeking a highly organised and practical Operations Coordinator to join our South Australian team.

This is primarily an operational role, not a traditional administration position. You will work closely with the Operations Manager as their key support person, helping coordinate labour, materials, scheduling, customers and the daily works program.

You will also assist with the day-to-day operation when the Operations Manager is unavailable.

This is a permanent, long-term opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a busy operational environment, solving problems and taking responsibility for seeing tasks through to completion.

The role

As Operations Coordinator, you will help manage the daily flow of people, materials and information across our scaffold operation.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Coordinating labour, materials and scheduling for the scaffold division

- Maintaining the daily operational planner and accurately recording new jobs, changes and customer requirements

- Allocating employees according to their experience, qualifications and the requirements of the works program

- Coordinating responses to operational and site issues as they arise

- Communicating with customers, supervisors, subcontractors and field employees

- Coordinating job bookings, site access, labour requirements and materials

- Supporting the Operations Manager with daily planning, reporting and operational decisions

- Assisting with straightforward quotations and quotation administration

- Preparing contracts, job packs, Secure Work Method Statements and other project documentation

- Ensuring operational information is communicated clearly between the office and field teams

- Managing customer enquiries and providing professional and responsive service

- Monitoring shared inboxes and ensuring operational enquiries and requests are actioned promptly

- Processing invoicing and completing end-of-month operational administration





- Supporting accounts receivable, debt collection and credit card payments

- Identifying opportunities to improve operational systems, processes and communication

About you

You will be someone who takes ownership, remains calm when priorities change and follows tasks through to completion.

To succeed in this role, you will ideally have:

- Scaffolding experience, although this is preferred rather than essential

- Experience in operations, scheduling, coordination, construction administration or a similar role

- Solid organisational and time-management skills

- Excellent attention to detail

- Confidence communicating with customers, employees, subcontractors and managers

- The ability to coordinate multiple employees and changing priorities

- A practical and solutions-focused approach

- The confidence to make decisions and escalate issues when required

- Strong Microsoft Outlook, Word and Excel skills

- Experience using scheduling, job-management, payroll or accounting software

- A willingness to learn and understand every part of the operation

Experience in scaffolding, construction, logistics, labour hire, transport or another fast-paced operational industry will be highly regarded.

What we offer

- A permanent and stable full-time position

- A key operational role within an established South Australian business

- The opportunity to work directly with and support the Operations Manager

- A supportive and down-to-earth team environment

- Direct involvement in the daily operation of the business

- Variety, responsibility and the opportunity to make the role your own

- Training across our systems, customers and operational processes

- A genuine opportunity to develop your skills and take on greater operational responsibility

- A workplace where reliable and capable people are recognised and valued
