About Us:

Established in 1993, Townsend Building Services is an award-winning, building and construction industry expert delivering projects Australia-wide. A family business, we started out as a partner to insurance companies like Alliance and Westpac, assisting clients with catastrophic repairs. In 2017 we created a new “Facilities” department to focus on retirement village projects for organisations such as Aveo, RSL Life, Retire Australia, and Churches of Christ and are doubling our revenue in this area every year. On the back of this growth, in October 2024 we took the Facilities department and turned it into a new company called Taylor Building & Renovation Services (TBRS).

With teams based in NSW, Victoria, South Australia, and Queensland, we offer nation-wide services and won FBA’s Australian Family Business of The Year Award (second generation) for the quality of our offerings.

Yet it is our people that make the real difference. Like the employee who started out in a supervisor support role and became our Regional Manager. We promote from within as much as possible and we have a great company culture. Many of our people are long-term employees - and we look after them. We’re continuously improving our business, and our long-term goal is to be the market leader in renovation and refurbishment services for the retirement living industry throughout Australia.

About The Role:

Due to our ongoing expansion, we have one vacancy for a high-achieving, experienced administration officer with strong communication skills to join our expert team. Reporting to the business services manager, you’ll be a knowledgeable self-starter, responsible for assisting our supervisors by providing the administrative support necessary to help them to bring a diverse range of projects in on time and on budget. You won't be thrown in the deep end; we have a structured onboarding system to help you learn the TBRS way.

As there is a lot of liaising with customers and a variety of tradespeople, you’ll need good relationship-building, communication and problem-solving skills. Because our clients have set time frames for job life, you will often be working in a fast-paced environment, helping our supervisors to meet critical deadlines.

As an equal opportunity employer, we encourage applications from everyone (our current management team is almost 50:50 male/female). This is a fantastic opportunity for those who have excelled in the past and are looking for a significant role with a highly respected company.

To Be Successful in This Role You Need:

Previous experience in an administration / customer service role

Experience within the construction industry (highly regarded, but not essential)

Excellent verbal and written communication skills

High level of organisational skills and effective time management
