Junior Administration & Projects Assistant

Australian Environmental Landscapes (AEL) is looking for a motivated Junior Administration & Projects Assistant to join our Ipswich team.

This is not just a general office administration role.

You will work alongside different areas of our business and gain practical experience in estimating, tendering, project administration, finance and business systems.

We are looking for someone at the beginning of their career who is organised, comfortable with computers and numbers, willing to ask questions and, most importantly, keen to learn.

As your skills and confidence develop, so will the role.

What you'll be doing

Working with our Estimator, Finance team and Systems & Tender Coordinator, your responsibilities will include:

• Searching tender portals and downloading tender documents, drawings and specifications
• Setting up and organising tender and project documentation
• Assisting our Estimator with simple take-offs, pricing and estimating activities as your skills develop
• Assisting with the compilation and preparation of tender submissions
• Entering and allocating employee hours into the PM software
• Assisting with project and financial administration
• Maintaining accurate electronic records and project documentation
• Assisting with AEL's management systems and compliance documentation
• Supporting employee records and onboarding
• General office administration, phone calls and deliveries
• Providing administrative support across the business as required

What we're looking for

You don't need years of experience. We're more interested in finding someone with the right attitude and aptitude.

You'll ideally have:

• Good computer skills and confidence learning new software
• Good numeracy and an interest in working with figures
• Strong attention to detail
• Good organisational and time-management skills
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Confidence using Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook
• The ability to follow instructions and established processes
• The confidence to ask questions when you're unsure
• A willingness to work with and learn from different people across the business
• A positive attitude and genuine interest in developing your skills

Previous administration experience would be helpful but isn't essential for the right person.

A current driver's licence would be advantageous.
