Love education, but looking for something beyond the classroom?

Are you an experienced school administrator, teacher considering a career change, or someone who loves organising educational programs and making things happen behind the scenes?

NewSpec is looking for a capable, organised and proactive Operations Administrator to help coordinate our Inspire STEM Education Australia (ISEA) outreach program.

This is an opportunity to remain connected to education while supporting a program that brings advanced scientific equipment and exciting learning experiences into schools across Australia.

About us

NewSpec is an Australian-owned company supplying specialised scientific equipment and technical solutions to researchers, universities and industry.

Through Inspire STEM Education Australia, we help bring science to life for school students by providing access to scanning electron microscopes and supporting resources that many schools would not otherwise have the opportunity to use.

Our outreach program operates across six Australian states, and we're looking for someone who can help keep the many moving parts running smoothly.

About the role

Working closely with our National Outreach Manager and Business Support Team, you'll play a key role in coordinating the administration and logistics of our national STEM education outreach program.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Coordinating school bookings, program calendars and communication with teachers and schools.

- Organising equipment movements, installer schedules and the logistics of school visits.

- Maintaining accurate booking records, databases, program statistics and reports.

- Liaising with schools, universities, program partners and other stakeholders.

- Supporting teacher professional learning activities, workshops and educational events.

- Assisting with outreach communications, educational resources and social media content.

- Coordinating equipment inventories, consumables and other program requirements.





- Providing general administrative and operational support to NewSpec's Business Support Team, including assisting colleagues during busy periods or absences.

This is a varied role where attention to detail, initiative and follow-through really matter. You'll be helping to ensure that schools, teachers and our outreach team have everything they need for a successful experience.

About you

We're looking for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, takes ownership of their work and genuinely cares about doing things well.

You will bring:

- Solid administration, organisation and time-management skills.

- Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple bookings, tasks and deadlines.

- Confident, professional written and verbal communication skills.

- Good computer skills, particularly Microsoft Word and Excel.

- A practical, proactive approach to solving problems.

- The ability to work independently while contributing to a small, supportive team.

- A current Australian driver's licence.

Experience working in a school, education administration, teaching, educational outreach or program coordination would be highly regarded.

You don't need to be a scientist or have a teaching qualification. We're interested in your organisational skills, your experience and your ability to work effectively with people.

Why join NewSpec?

- Stay connected to education and help bring inspiring STEM experiences to Australian students.

- Enjoy a wide-ranging role combining educational program coordination with business administration.

- Work with a supportive Australian team and some fascinating scientific technology.

- Have the opportunity to contribute ideas and improve how things are done.

- Be part of an organisation that values professionalism, teamwork, integrity and continuous improvement.

Interested?

If you're someone who gets satisfaction from making complicated things run smoothly, enjoys working with schools and people, and wants to contribute to a worthwhile education program, we'd love to hear from you.
