JOB OVERVIEW

We’re looking for a sharp, proactive, and highly organised Renovation Operations Virtual Assistant to support the renovation lead of a fast-moving property investment and renovation business based in regional Australia.

Our renovation lead currently oversees more than 20 active renovation projects. His workday is fast-moving and often shaped by what is happening on-site, including trade availability, materials, property access, urgent repairs, payments, compliance requirements, and changing project priorities.

Your role will be to bring structure and follow-through to this workload. You will help turn calls, voice messages, emails, photos, videos, and brief instructions into clearly organised tasks—and then ensure those tasks continue moving until they are completed.

This is not a traditional inbox-and-calendar Executive Assistant role. It is a hands-on coordination and operations position for someone who can work quickly, use practical judgement, follow up confidently, and take ownership without needing constant supervision.

The position will begin part-time, with the potential to develop into a full-time role for the right person.

What you’ll be doing
- Managing renovation tasks, deadlines, notes, and follow-ups in ClickUp
- Turning emails, calls, voice messages, photos, and site updates into clear action items
- Monitoring projects and identifying urgent tasks, blockers, and missing information
- Preparing and updating scopes of work and trade job briefs
- Following up with trades, contractors, suppliers, and other parties
- Sourcing trades in regional Australian areas
- Maintaining contractor details, quotes, waivers, access information, and property records
- Assisting with preliminary costing, quantities, or estimating where appropriate
- Researching Australian rental, safety, and property-compliance requirements
- Preparing concise project updates covering progress, blockers, and next steps
- Creating practical checklists, templates, and SOPs
- Communicating delays early and providing clear completion estimates

Who we’re looking for
You may be a strong fit if you:
- Have experience in construction, renovation, property maintenance, project coordination, or operations support
- Work quickly without sacrificing accuracy
- Can organise incomplete or fast-moving information into clear next steps
- Take ownership and follow tasks through without repeated reminders
- Are confident following up with trades, contractors, and suppliers
- Can manage multiple projects and competing priorities
- Communicate clearly in written and spoken English
- Provide timely updates and raise blockers early
- Respond well to feedback and adapt quickly
- Are comfortable using ClickUp, Google Workspace, spreadsheets, and online document-management tools
- Can accurately track your working time
- Have reliable internet, a suitable workspace, and consistent availability

Highly regarded experience
Experience in any of the following would be an advantage:
- Residential construction or renovation
- Construction estimating or quantity surveying
- Architecture, interior design, or civil engineering
- Preparing scopes of work, job briefs, or cost estimates
- Reading property plans, inspection reports, and site documentation
- Sourcing and coordinating trades in Australia
- Australian building, rental, or property-compliance requirements

Relevant building, renovation, or estimating experience is preferred. We will also consider fast learners with strong initiative, practical judgement, and a genuine interest in renovation operations.

HOW TO APPLY
Please submit the following:
- A 2–3 minute Loom video introducing yourself and explaining why you would be a strong fit for the role.
- Attach a copy of your most recent and updated CV.
- Share an example of a time you took ownership of a task or problem without being given detailed instructions.
- Confirm your current availability and preferred working hours in Melbourne time.

Applications without a Loom video and updated CV will not be considered. Please speak naturally in your video rather than reading from a prepared script.
