Recruitment Advisory Services Australia - South Melbourne VIC

Executive Assistant - Maternity Leave Contract

This publicly listed civil infrastructure company has a large, specialised fleet- including excavators, dozers, dump trucks, and loaders and a strong track record delivering major public and private projects across roads, rail, defence, justice, ports, and energy.

They're looking for an experienced Executive Assistant to cover a maternity leave contract, supporting the General Manager of the plant division.

This is a part-time role for approximately 10 months, Monday to Friday, 9:00am-3:00pm (some flexibility on hours), based on-site in South Melbourne with no work-from-home arrangements.

About the Role:

You'll be the GM's right hand—managing diaries and correspondence, coordinating meetings and travel, preparing documents and reports, and keeping the day-to-day running smoothly, with efficiency, discretion, and professionalism.

What We're Looking For:

A proactive, highly organised EA who's adaptable and comfortable managing competing priorities—someone who finds their own work rather than waiting to be told what to do.

  • Minimum 3-4 years' experience as an Executive Assistant or in a similar support role, ideally within civil construction, infrastructure, or engineering.
  • Microsoft Office 365 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook).
  • Experience with Claude (AI assistant).

Where This Could Lead:

No guarantees, but this is a growing business making regular acquisitions, so there's a reasonable chance of a permanent role opening up elsewhere by the time the contract ends.

There's also the possibility of an ongoing part-time/job-share arrangement with the current incumbent when she returns, currently expected around October 2027.

The Benefits

  • Salary approx. $95,000 + super (full-time equivalent), prorated for part-time hours.
  • Based in South Melbourne, with a car park available for the duration of the contract.

For a confidential discussion, call Amanda Frey on 0418 118 ***.
