New Homes Administrator - ACT
Step into a rewarding career with a trusted local leader and a collaborative team culture.
G.J. Gardner Homes ACT is a proudly family-owned business. With over 30 years of combined experience, we have built a reputation for reliability, quality, and integrity throughout the Canberra region. We don't believe in high-pressure tactics; instead, we focus on transparency, collaboration, and delivering an exceptional experience for families building their dream homes.
Due to exciting team growth, we are currently seeking two motivated, organised, and customer-focused professionals to join our Mitchell office. We are looking for candidates with general administration experience and a basic foundational knowledge of housing who are eager to dive into the residential building industry.
The Opportunities
We have two distinct roles available, depending on your strengths, schedule flexibility, and career interests:
1. Sales Administrator
This is a vital pipeline-management role focused on keeping our operations moving and our clients informed. You will take ownership of the administrative side of sales (ordering contour plans, updating systems, and booking appointments). A critical part of this role is client care - you will contact clients weekly during the sales stage to provide status updates, ensuring they are supported while our consultants are busy.
* Roster: This role includes consistent Saturday and Sunday work at our display home to manage weekend client coverage, with 2 rostered days off during the week.
2. Admin / Colour Assistant
This unique hybrid role supports our admin team and Colour Consultant, blending essential administrative tasks with a hands-on, creative element. You will assist with approvals and step up to manage our high volume of client colour selection meetings - guiding future homeowners through the process of choosing their internal and external fixtures, palettes, and finishes.
* Roster: This position is initially set for a 4-day week (Monday to Thursday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm), with the potential to transition into a 5-day week as the office continues to grow.
Perks You'll Love
* Collaborative Culture: Join a supportive, family-run business where your contribution is truly valued, noticed, and respected.
* Comprehensive Training: We provide hands-on, specialised training for admin, sales, and colour selection components, as well as our internal systems.
* Global Brand Power: Benefit from the world-class systems and 40-year legacy of Australia's most trusted home builder.
* Career Progression: Work within an environment that genuinely supports your personal development and long-term career stability, with scope to grow your responsibilities.
* Fuel Your Passion: Turn your personal love for home styling, floor plans, and design trends into a rewarding career.
What You'll Bring
* A Passion for Property: A genuine interest in residential building and design / interior decorating is essential. You love looking at finishes, following design trends, and understanding how a home comes together.
* The \"G.J. Way\" Mindset: You are honest, transparent, relationship-focused, and driven by delivering an exceptional customer experience.
* Communication Excellence: Exceptional verbal and written skills, with a warm phone manner and the confidence to update clients regularly.
* Role & Roster Alignment: Clear availability and commitment to match either the Saturday / Sunday -inclusive sales roster or the Monday–Thursday admin / colour roster.
