JOB OVERVIEW




OFFICE MANAGER / CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATOR
Moritz Design and Construct

ABOUT THE COMPANY
Moritz Design and Construct based in the Riverland, South Australia delivers high-quality residential and commercial projects with a focus on detail, organisation, and getting projects delivered properly.
We’re a small, growing business. No corporate layers. No confusion about responsibility.
You’ll work directly with the director and be involved in real projects, not just admin tasks.
This is a long-term role for someone who wants to take ownership and grow with the business.

THE ROLE
This role is about keeping projects organised, controlled, and moving.
You’ll take ownership of the admin and financial side of each job — making sure documentation is accurate, costs are tracked, and nothing slips.
You’ll be responsible for:
• Managing contracts, variations, and project documentation
• Tracking costs, invoices, and budgets
• Keeping schedules updated and following up outstanding items
• Coordinating subcontractors, suppliers, and consultants
• Communicating clearly with clients and the project team
• Assisting with tender submissions and project setup
You’re not just supporting projects — you’re helping keep them on track.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
You’ve worked in construction before and understand how jobs actually run.
You’re detail-focused and consistent. You don’t rush and miss things — you get it right.
You’re confident communicating in clear, professional English — both written and on calls.
You’re comfortable with:
• MYOB (or similar)
• Excel
• General construction documentation
You understand:
• Variations
• Invoicing
• Cost tracking
• Project flow
Most importantly:
• You take ownership
• You don’t need constant direction
• You keep things moving

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU
• Flexible working hours
• Direct involvement in real projects
• A small team where your work actually matters
• Exposure to high-end residential projects
• Long-term role with growth as the business expands

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
• You need constant instruction
• You miss details or rush your work
• You’re not comfortable speaking with clients or trades
• You’re looking for a corporate environment

THIS ROLE IS FOR YOU IF:
• You notice problems before others do
• You keep systems clean and organised
• You communicate clearly and professionally
• You want to be relied on

HOW TO APPLY
Send through:
• A short 2-3 minute video explaining your experience in construction admin and why this role suits you
• Your CV
----------
Subject: Office Manager
Only applicants with relevant construction experience will be considered.
A zoom interview will be offered to select candidates
