Job Description

Executive Assistant to the CEO - Based in Orange NSW

n

Ready for a career move — and a tree change?

n

What if your next career move could give you more opportunity — and more life outside work?

n

AWCON is a rapidly growing Australian civil construction contractor delivering major projects across the mining, energy and heavy industry sectors. With projects valued from $1M to $100M+ and a strong national pipeline, we're building a business with ambitious plans for the future.

n

We're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to support our CEO from our Orange Head Office — an opportunity to step into a high-growth business, work closely with senior leadership and gain exposure to major projects across Australia.

n

And the best part? You don't have to give up career ambition to change your lifestyle.

n

Build Your Career. Change Your Lifestyle.

n

Make the move from Sydney to Orange — a thriving regional town where career opportunity comes with community, great food and wine, beautiful countryside and a commute measured in minutes, not hours.

n

With a growing mining, construction and qualified services economy, Orange offers the opportunity to build a serious career without the pace and pressure of city life.

n

For an experienced EA ready for something different, this isn't simply a relocation.

n

It's the chance to step into a bigger career chance, while creating more time for the life you want outside work.

n

Bring your experience. Build something bigger. Make the move to Orange.

n

The Opportunity
n Based in our Orange Head Office, you will provide high-level, confidential and seamless support directly to our Chief Executive Officer, while providing support to other C-suite executives on an ad hoc basis.

n

This is a newly created role in a growing business, giving you genuine opportunity to own your space, influence how things get done and become a trusted partner to senior leadership.

n

You'll be across the detail while keeping sight of the bigger picture — managing the CEO's priorities, coordinating complex travel, preparing high-quality executive communications and presentations, supporting key meetings and helping keep the wider business organised and moving.

n

This isn't a role where you're simply managing a diary.

n

You'll be trusted to make things happen.

n

What You'll Be Responsible For

n

Providing dedicated, proactive Executive Assistant support directly to the CEO, managing priorities, diary coordination and competing demands.





n

Acting as a trusted gatekeeper and key point of contact for executive communications and relationships.

n

Supporting other C-suite leaders on an ad hoc basis with high-priority administrative and coordination requirements.

n

Preparing, drafting and polishing high-quality presentations, reports, speeches, correspondence and corporate documentation.

n

Coordinating complex executive travel arrangements, including flights, accommodation, itineraries and logistics.

n

Attending key executive and leadership meetings, preparing detailed minutes and tracking actions through to completion.

n

Managing confidential information and sensitive matters with absolute discretion and professionalism.

n

Supporting corporate events, meetings and key business activities.

n

Providing broader office and corporate administration support to keep the Orange Head Office operating smoothly.

n

Identifying opportunities to improve processes, anticipate needs and make life easier for the executive team.

n

What We're Looking For

n

We're looking for a high-performing EA who is ready to step up, take ownership and have genuine impact.

n

You will ideally have:

n

Proven experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant or Senior Administrator supporting a CEO, Managing Director or senior executive.

n

Experience working in a fast-paced corporate or professional environment.

n

Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to confidently draft executive-level correspondence, presentations and documents.

n

Outstanding organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities, tight deadlines and complex calendars.

n

Strong judgement and the confidence to work independently and anticipate what needs to happen next.

n

Exceptional attention to detail and absolute discretion when dealing with confidential information.

n

High-level proficiency across Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook, Word and PowerPoint.

n

A pragmatic, solutions-focused "get it done" approach.

n





The maturity and confidence to work closely with senior leadership and represent the CEO professionally.

n

Bonus Points If You Have

n

Experience within construction, mining, engineering, infrastructure, professional services or another complex operational workplace.

n

Experience supporting a CEO, Board or executive leadership team.

n

Experience coordinating high-level corporate events or complex multi-stop national travel.

n

Experience preparing Board papers, executive reports or senior leadership presentations.

n

What's on Offer
n This is an opportunity to join AWCON at an exciting point in our growth.

n

You'll have:

n

A competitive salary package and relocation allowance.

n

Direct exposure to the CEO and senior leadership team.

n

Genuine ownership and responsibility — not just administration.

n

Exposure to corporate strategy, national operations and major infrastructure projects.

n

The chance to broaden your experience as AWCON continues to scale.

n

Career development and progression opportunities within a rapidly growing Australian business.

n

The chance to help shape how a growing national company operates.

n

A lifestyle change without putting your career on hold.

n

Why AWCON?
n AWCON is growing - and we're building the team to grow with us.

n

With major projects across Australia and a strong pipeline of upcoming work, you'll be joining a business where things are happening quickly, and great people can make their mark.

n

From the project teams delivering major works on site to the people supporting our operations from Head Office, everyone plays a part in building something bigger.

n

We're ambitious about where AWCON is heading, and this role puts you close to the people driving that growth.

n

Bigger projects. Senior leadership partnership. Future-focused work

n

Ready for a Bigger Move?

n

You've built your career supporting senior leaders. Now it's time to step into something bigger.

n

Join a high-growth Australian business at an exciting stage of national expansion, work alongside senior leadership and gain exposure to the mining, construction and heavy industry sectors — while playing a genuine role in what comes next.

n

And make the move to Orange — where you can build a career with real opportunity, while enjoying community over commute and a lifestyle that gives you more outside of work.

n

Bigger opportunity. Bigger impact. A better place to live and work

n

Ready to make the move? We'd love to hear from you.
