About the role:

Join our team in Hobart as our Receptionist & Administration Officer and play an important role in creating a welcoming office environment while helping keep our business running smoothly.

As the first point of contact for visitors, you'll deliver professional front-of-house experience and provide administrative support to our Construction, Design, Developments, SQE and Facility Management teams.

In this office-based position, you'll provide a wide range of administrative and office support services, including:

- Providing day-to-day administrative support, including diary management, tender submissions, communication between the office and sites, email management, photocopying, mailing, banking, data entry, word processing, and the collation and processing of documentation and records.

- Processing purchase orders as required.
- Maintaining office supplies and stationery, and arranging replacement stock when needed.
- Coordinating meeting bookings, travel arrangements, and catering.

To be successful in the role, you will have:

- Proven experience (5 years) in a reception and/or administrative role within an office environment.
