Project Administrator

Overview

VINCI’s Seymour Whyte is hiring two Project Administrators for the Beerburrum to Nambour (B2N) Upgrade Project in Queensland. This major civil infrastructure initiative is being delivered as a joint venture with John Holland and aims to strengthen the rail network between Beerburrum and Nambour on the Sunshine Coast. When finished, the project is expected to improve the North Coast Line and deliver better travel connections across the Sunshine Coast, Moreton Bay, and Brisbane.

These are site-based roles that support day-to-day project delivery. One position will concentrate on finance-related administration, while the other will support the Delivery Manager with reporting tasks and general site administration. The work environment is fast-moving and varied, so the ideal person will be detail-oriented, adaptable, and comfortable taking initiative.

What You Will Do

In this role, you will contribute to smooth project operations by handling administrative support across site activities. Depending on the placement, your focus may include finance administration, reporting, coordination, and general office support to assist the broader delivery team.

• Strong organisational ability and effective time management, with a proven capacity to juggle priorities and work to demanding deadlines.

• Clear written and spoken communication skills, along with a cooperative, team-oriented approach.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office tools such as Excel, Word, and Outlook, plus other related software.

• Leave support including purchased leave, paid parental leave, and a paid birthday day off.
• Training, mentoring, and leadership development opportunities to support career growth.
• Wellbeing support such as discounted health insurance, seasonal vaccinations, fertility assistance, and an employee assistance program.
