Communicate clearly and warmly with clients during the pre-construction phase
Track progress and proactively resolve issues to avoid delays
Ensure all compliance and regulatory requirements are met
What You’ll Bring
Experience in construction approvals, town planning, building compliance or a related admin-based role
Strong understanding of residential building processes and local council requirements
High level of organisation and attention to detail
Professional and confident communicator – written and verbal
Ability to work independently and take ownership of your responsibilities
A friendly, approachable attitude and a genuine care for client experience
Proficiency in MS Office and general construction/project management software
What You’ll Love
A supportive, friendly team who value your contribution
Autonomy in your role, with the backing and training you need to succeed
Ongoing learning and development opportunities
Beautiful modern office in a central location – close to everything
Team lunch provided once a week by the company
