Assistant

About the Role
We are a growing electrical contracting business looking for a highly organised and proactive Virtual Assistant to support our day-to-day operations. This is a varied and exciting role where you will play a key part in helping the business operate professionally, win new contracts, and build a strong online presence.
You will work closely with the business owner and be trusted to manage important tasks independently. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, take pride in your work, and love ticking things off a list — we want to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
Tendering & Contract Support
• Research, prepare, and submit tenders and quotes for electrical contracts via online portals (e.g. AusTender, VendorPanel, Tenderlink or similar)
• Review and summarise contracts and tender documents, flagging key obligations, deadlines, and risks
• Maintain a tender register and track submission deadlines
Administration & Communication
• Manage and respond to incoming emails in a timely and professional manner
• Answer and direct phone calls, take messages, and follow up on enquiries
• Organise calendars, schedule appointments, and set reminders
Systems & Business Presentation
• Set up and maintain business systems and templates (quotes, invoices, checklists, SOPs) to ensure a professional image
• Create and format documents, proposals, and client-facing materials that reflect a polished, credible brand
• Assist with setting up or improving business tools (e.g. CRM, cloud storage, project management software)
Website & Digital Marketing
• Build or manage a professional business website (experience with platforms such as Squarespace, Wix, or WordPress preferred)
• Set up and manage Google Ads campaigns to generate leads and grow the business's online presence
• Assist with basic SEO, Google Business Profile, and social media presence as needed
What We're Looking For
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail — you don't let things fall through the cracks
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Experience with online tendering platforms is a strong advantage
• Ability to read and interpret contracts and commercial documents
• Proficient in Microsoft Office / Google Workspace
• Experience building websites and running Google Ads campaigns
• Comfortable working independently and using your initiative
• Background in or exposure to the electrical, construction, or trades industry is desirable but not essential
What We Offer
• Flexible remote working arrangements
• Supportive and straightforward working relationship with the business owner
• Opportunity to grow with the business and take on more responsibility over time
• Competitive hourly rate or project-based arrangement — negotiable based on experience
How to Apply
