Project Administrator Site-Based (Civil Construction)

Join G&H Civil Contractors

G&H Civil Contractors delivers technically challenging civil and geotechnical projects across South East Queensland, Canberra and NSW. Our expertise includes D&C basement retention, piling, dewatering, ground improvement, bulk excavation and associated civil works.

As our projects continue to grow in size and complexity, we're looking for an experienced Project Administrator to become an integral part of our project delivery team.

Why This Role Exists

Our Project Engineers create the greatest value when they're planning ahead, coordinating future works and solving problems before they occur. In reality, however, much of their day can be consumed by administration.

The purpose of this role is to reduce that administrative burden.

By proactively coordinating project administration, maintaining key systems and driving follow-up, you'll free our engineers to focus on planning, coordination and project delivery. We often describe it as reducing the noise so our engineers can focus on the signal.

This is far more than an administration role, you'll become a key member of the project team.
