Your opportunity at FIELD: Starting a career in office administration is about more than learning how to answer phones and complete routine tasks. It is about developing the confidence, judgement and practical skills needed to become a capable member of a professional office team. Based in our Mackay office, you will learn on the job with guidance from our experienced administration and finance team while completing a Certificate III in Business.

You will find plenty of variety in this role.

• Providing friendly and efficient reception service, including answering incoming calls, welcoming visitors and responding to general enquiries.
• Preparing and formatting documents and completing general typing.
• Assisting with general administration and filing.
• Supporting our administration and finance teams.
• Helping with office supplies, meeting arrangements and other day-to-day office requirements.
• Maintaining the professional presentation of our office.

What you’ll bring: This role will suit a recent school leaver or someone looking to start a career in office administration.

• Be confident in your communication with our clients and FIELD team members.
• Take pride in the quality of your work and display strong attention to detail.
• Have sound literacy and numeracy skills.
