Make it yours
Experience the excitement of building your Business Services Coordinator career in our evolving Civil construction company, where people and performance make amazing things happen. Seeking an outgoing, bubbly person who is the heartbeat of the business.

 

Who we are
We're Symal, a proudly different group of companies with a story of significant growth, pushing what’s possible as one of Australia’s largest self-performing contractors.

We innovate with intent – problem solving and delivering the best outcomes to our partners, communities and each other - that’s what has made Symal a success and will continue to do so into the future.

It’s not what we do that defines us; it’s how we do it, building better together.

 

The role
Join a high-impact position supporting HR, Construction Managers, Project Managers, and senior leaders across administration, people processes, and operations.
Acting as a central business services hub, you’ll play a key role in driving a positive culture and strong business performance.

This is more than administration—it’s a career-building opportunity for an experienced coordinator ready to step into a broader, more strategic role.

 

Your day-to-day

  • Provide high-level administrative support to senior leaders, including calendars, meetings, and documentation
  • Act as the key point of contact for people processes, including recruitment, onboarding, and employee lifecycle coordination
  • Coordinate project operations, including travel, mobilisation, procurement support, and stakeholder communication
  • Contribute to business operations through office coordination, systems improvement, and internal initiatives

 

 

About you

  • Professional yet outgoing, the heartbeat of the business
  • Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Strong attention to detail and a proactive mindset
  • Confident communicator, comfortable engaging with senior leaders
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and business systems
  • Experience in construction or project environments (desirable)
  • Reliable, discreet, and team-focused with a willingness to learn

 

A career with us

At Symal, we've always known that people and performance make amazing things happen. Work like ours needs problem solvers, bold thinkers and genuinely good people. If you're looking for a passionate team and a pathway to career success, now's the time to make it yours.

There are plenty of good reasons to dig into a career at Symal.

  • Forge pathways: We open doors to diverse, challenging and future-shaping construction projects to expand your experience and develop your career.
  • Get ahead: From early career support and specialised learning to leadership development, we back you with tailored development programs to help you reach your goals. Success is defined by your direction and progress.
  • Keep well: A healthy and happy workplace builds a brighter future. With wellness benefits, discounted health insurance, a perks and rewards platform and an industry-leading employee assistance program, we’re here to support you when you need it.
  • Stay social: People are the core of Symal. Our leading-edge work and breakout spaces stocked with snacks bring the best out of our teams and keep them fuelled for their next challenge, while our social calendar is stacked with events to connect, celebrate and reward our people.

 

Diversity of thought fuels our progress

Our inclusion offerings are designed to open doors for individuals who may not see a traditional entry point into the construction industry. We’re empowering women to thrive in construction through Shine, championing veteran career transitions through Resolve and building meaningful careers for Aboriginal people with Wamarra - helping you build a future where you belong.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, veterans and individuals from diverse cultural and life experiences are encouraged to apply. #L1-NC1
