Ready to do work that actually excites you? 

The Administration Assistant will provide comprehensive administrative and operational support across our client's tendering, documentation, and communication workflows. This role is central to ensuring the timely and accurate preparation of tender submissions, managing key administrative processes, supporting cross-department coordination, and assisting with general tasks for two sister businesses operating within the same office.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, detail-oriented, confident with numbers, and able to manage multiple administrative tasks simultaneously. Strong communication skills—both written and verbal—are essential, particularly when liaising with clients for tender follow-ups or supporting internal teams.

What You'll Do
You'll be the kind of person who:

Tender & Documentation Support

• Prepare final tender documents by entering completed quantities from estimators into an online tender platform.
  
• Ensure all quantities, specifications, inclusions, exclusions, and details are accurately reflected in the final submission.
  
• Perform final checks to ensure proposals are polished, complete, and error-free.
  
• Assist in preparing contracts, subcontractor agreements, reports, and other business documents.
  
• Coordinate with estimators and engineers to ensure timely submission of documents.
  

Administrative Operations

• Manage calendars, schedule meetings, coordinate appointments, and support daily administrative workflow.
  
• Perform accurate and timely data entry and maintain updated internal databases and content systems.
  
• Assist with email management, including sorting, flagging, preparing drafts, and responding on behalf of the business when required.
  
• Conduct general clerical tasks to support both Tricon Steel and a second sister company (as needed).
  

Client & Internal Communication

• Follow up with clients on submitted tenders to obtain feedback or updates.
  
• Support the accounts team when they need assistance in urgent communication or document follow-ups.
  
• Communicate clearly and professionally with internal departments to align tasks and deliverables.
  

Workload Expectations

• Manage approximately 15 to 20 tenders per week, depending on business activity.
  
• Coordinate multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining accuracy and prioritization.
  
• Collaborate with management for clarifications and ensure seamless communication flow.
  

Additional Notes

• This role does not require engineering or architectural background.
