Be the person who makes a growing sustainability consultancy actually run.
We're Efficient Living, a team of architects, engineers, building designers and sustainability specialists helping Australian buildings and precincts become more sustainable and resilient. We're a small business, which means a genuine chance to make a difference in how projects come together, not just be a small cog in a big machine.
We're looking for someone sharp, organised and personable to help keep things running smoothly, the friendly voice clients hear first, the person who keeps our workflow tidy, and someone who helps the team stay connected day to day. It can be fast paced at times, but we're a genuinely lovely team who love what we do and who we do it with.
Sound like you? You'll get real variety and visibility across the whole business, client relationships, marketing, culture, operations, all in one role. Plus, when you need to clear your head, the ocean's a two-minute walk away.

Who you are
You're reliable, personable, and genuinely enjoy being the person who keeps things moving. You're a real initiative taker, you don't wait to be told what to do, you spot the gap and fill it. You're keen to build real skills in a business that will invest in you as you grow.
