Cairns, Queensland, Australia Keadeen Electrical Full time $60,000 - $80,000 per year

Join a small, fast-growing electrical contractor with a vision for excellence and innovation.

We're seeking a motivated Administration Assistant who's ready to take ownership and build the role from the ground up — a blank canvas for the right person to make their mark. This is a rare opportunity to shape systems, procedures, and workflows your way, working closely with the Managing Director to support day-to-day operations and future growth.

About the Role

You'll be the backbone of our administrative function — managing scheduling, quoting support, invoicing, client communication, document control, and compliance tracking. This position suits someone proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to establish efficient systems within a dynamic, trade-based environment.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop and implement administrative processes and documentation systems.
  • Manage emails, calls, and client correspondence professionally.
  • Coordinate job scheduling, purchase orders, and supplier communication.
  • Support project administration, quoting, and invoicing using digital tools.
  • Maintain records for safety, compliance, and project documentation.
  • Assist with marketing coordination and basic bookkeeping tasks.
About You
  • Strong organisational and problem-solving skills.
  • Confident communicator with a professional, can-do attitude.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and cloud-based admin tools (experience with Job Management Software or similar software advantageous).
  • Self-motivated and capable of working independently.
  • Prior experience in administration, preferably within a trade or construction setting.
Why Join Us
  • Opportunity to build the admin department from scratch – your systems, your style.
  • Supportive, down-to-earth team that values initiative and innovation.
  • Career growth as the business expands.
  • Competitive salary, flexibility, and a professional environment where you'll be valued.
