Job Description

Posted on: August 17, 2026

Newly created role, make it your own | Work directly with the owners and keep civil projects commercially on track | Office 6km west of the CBD



The Company

South Australian owned and operated civil contractor specialising in bulk earthworks, pavement construction and site remediation.


With fewer than 20 employees, it’s a small, family-owned team, people pitch in when needed and no one takes themselves too seriously. They work hard, have a laugh and genuinely look after each other.



What’s On Offer

  • Small, family-owned contractor
  • Exposure to bulk earthworks, pavement construction and site remediation
  • Ideal for a Project Administrator or Coordinator ready to step into a CA role
  • Office in the western suburbs of Adelaide
  • Realistic workloads with defined responsibilities and expectations
  • Clear ownership of the financial administration of projects, including cost tracking, progress claims and variations
  • Opportunity to work closely with experienced leadership rather than being siloed
  • Free parking on site and easy access to nearby food and café options
  • Stable pipeline of local metro work



The Role

  • Keep project contracts, purchase orders and commercial records organised
  • Help prepare claims and variations, making sure the right information is captured
  • Coordinate documentation between Project Managers, site teams, subcontractors and suppliers
  • Keep an eye on project costs, commitments and key commercial deadlines
  • Follow projects through to close-out, helping tie up outstanding claims and paperwork



The Criteria

  • Experience supporting or managing the financial administration of construction projects
  • Background in civil works, infrastructure or similar environments
  • Strong attention to detail without losing sight of deadlines and project priorities
  • Tertiary qualifications in Construction Management, Civil Engineering, Quantity Surveying or a related discipline will be highly regarded but are not essential.
