About Us

Shaw Contracting is a Tasmanian owned civil construction and mining contractor delivering projects that shape our beautiful State of Tasmania - from roads and dams to irrigation and infrastructure. With a strong pipeline of works and over 120 skilled people, we are proud to live by our philosophy of Building Tasmania's Future.

At Shaw, we value practical experience, teamwork and getting the job done right; safely, efficiently and to a high standard.

The Opportunity

Our Business Development Team is looking for a Business Development Support Officer to be the engine behind our tender and project coordination efforts, based in Launceston.

This is a role for someone with a genuine eye for detail and a passion for polished, professional presentation. Working with our Tender Manager and Business Development Manager, you will assist in tender coordination, development and submission so Shaw puts its best foot forward on every chance. You will play a visible, valued role in winning and delivering work that shapes Tasmania's future.

If you take pride in precision, ensuring documents look their best and want to be part of a company that genuinely values its people, we want to hear from you.

What the Role Looks Like

This role requires more than strong administration skills; we are looking for someone who can learn our industry, understand what we do and bring creativity to how Shaw communicates its capability through written content, imagery and professional tender presentation.

This is a full-time role, however, we are open to part-time arrangements for the right person. If you are after flexibility while still being part of something meaningful, let's talk about what could work.

Key Tasks

- Prepare and format Expressions of Interest and tender documentation to a polished, professional standard and on time




- Apply creativity to the presentation of tender submissions, including document layout, supporting graphics, project imagery and other visual content.
- Assist with the selection of relevant project photographs and imagery from Shaw’s image library to support tender responses and capability documentation.
- Assist in the coordination of the tender and presentation process maintaining tender registers, templates and capability documents
- Manage tender portal accounts and monitor new opportunities

What You Will Bring

- A commitment to teamwork, integrity and continuous improvement.

Highly Regarded

- Experience in civil construction, infrastructure, mining or professional services.
