Alita Constructions | Forrestdale WA | Permanent Full-Time | $95,000 – $120,000 + Super
About Alita Constructions
Alita Constructions has operated in the Western Australian commercial construction industry since 1980. Based in Forrestdale, we design and construct tilt-up concrete panel buildings — factories, warehouses, workshops, schools, medical centers, retail showrooms and community buildings across Perth.
We carry $45M annual turnover, 30 employees and a privately owned approach to how we work. Every person here is known, supported and connected to the projects we build. Our values — Honesty, Respect, Commitment, Reliability, Positivity, Humility and Communication — are the standard we hold at every level.
A Newly Created Role
We are recruiting a Business Support Manager — a permanent, full-time, office-based position reporting directly to the Director and a dotted line to our Construction Manager.
This role owns HR, office operations, IT contract management, social media and brand (parental leave cover), and employee experience. You manage one direct report. You are the single point of contact for all 30 employees across head office and active construction sites. You will be the central support person who keeps the business running smoothly, holds key knowledge, and brings a positive presence to the team.
This is an execution role. You own your functions, act directly and accurately, and are present in the office every day. If you have multi-function business support experience in a practical, operational environment and work well with direct accountability and minimal oversight, this role is suited to you.
