Personal Assistant - Brisbane

Great opportunity for a current or aspiring PA looking for more experience. 

We are looking for a current PA, or someone looking to move into the role, who can naturally juggle competing tasks, separating the urgent from the important.

You can view this as a straight 6-month assignment or the opportunity to join a progressive civil contractor with the chance to be considered for future opportunities.

So why join CMC?

CMC is a 100% Australian owned, privately run civil contractor. With a strong focus on people, culture, and services, we are proud of our legacy, delivering multi-million-dollar civil works across Queensland and NSW.

Our exceptional people deliver exceptional outcomes because they are valued, supported, and encouraged to grow.
