#Kick off your construction career in Cairns

Our Cairns office has been part of the region since 1997, building strong local relationships and backing real employment and training opportunities for people in the area.

We’re looking for Construction Cadets and Project Administrators to join our team. These roles suit people who want to build a long term career in construction, get hands-on experience on real projects, and keep learning as they go.

Whether you’re studying a diploma or degree in construction and keen to get your foot in the door, or you’re already in a project administration role and ready to step up, we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll get exposure to a wide range of projects and learning opportunities, with the chance to build real capability over time.

#The Role

This is a hands on opportunity for someone who wants to grow into construction delivery, contract administration, commercial support, or broader project roles over time.

Day to day, this can include:

Supporting contract and project documentation
Keeping records and registers up to date
Assisting with document control and compliance
Providing general project and admin support
Getting exposure to how live construction jobs are delivered

You won’t just be doing admin for admin’s sake; the whole point of the role is to build your skills, understand how projects run, and set yourself up for bigger roles down the track.

#Who could this suit?

We’d love to hear from you if you are:

Studying a Diploma of Building & Construction, Construction Management, or a related course and want to work while you study
Already working in project admin, office admin, or a junior construction support role and ready to step into the project/commercial side
Practical, organised, and keen to learn how projects run (both on site and in the office)

#What you'll bring

Strong organisation skills and attention to detail
Clear written and verbal communication
A willingness to learn and get stuck in
The ability to work well in a team and use initiative
Confidence using Outlook, Word, and Excel
A genuine interest in construction and how projects come together

Agency submissions won't be considered for this position.

#What we offer

At Hutchies, we offer more than a job. We offer a career built on support, opportunity and genuine connection.

You’ll be part of a down‑to‑earth, family‑owned business with a proud history and a strong future. Our culture is collaborative, inclusive and people‑focused. We take an open‑door approach, where anyone can speak to anyone, at any time.

We work hard, celebrate our successes, and look after each other.

#Career development and learning

We invest heavily in developing our people.

From structured programs like our Cadet Summer School and ongoing training, to hands‑on experience across live projects, you’ll have opportunities to build skills and progress your career at Hutchies.

Eligible company members may also access our Global Building Exchange Program. This offers fully funded international placements with our partners in London (Wates) or Canada (Axiom). It’s a chance to broaden your experience while working overseas.

#Wellbeing and support

Your wellbeing matters to us.

We provide access to industry‑leading Employee Assistance Programs for company members, their partners and immediate family members. We also support mental health through our long‑standing partnership with Mates in Construction.

#Benefits and perks

As a Hutchies company member, you’ll have access to a range of benefits, including:

Discounted personal travel and flights
Health insurance and wellbeing offers
Superannuation options
Vehicle purchasing programs
Retail and lifestyle discounts
Memberships and professional associations

#Social and recognition

Hutchies' social club brings people together throughout the year. We host regular events, family activities and team celebrations.

We also recognise long‑term commitment through service milestone awards and annual excellence awards. These celebrate the contribution and achievements of our people.

#The Hutchies difference

Hutchies has been building the structures in which Australians live, work, study, shop and play since 1912. From our early beginnings, we have grown into a dynamic and diverse construction company, delivering sophisticated projects across a comprehensive portfolio.

We're not like other builders. Relationships are everything to us – whether it's with our people, our clients, or the local communities in which we live and work.

#Exclusive benefits

As a Hutchies company member, you're not just part of a great work environment; you will also be supported with training and continuous development along with access to exclusive perks. These include discounted personal travel and flights, savings on health insurance, and big discounts from top Australian retailers. Plus, we've got a calendar full of gatherings for social events, meetings, and conferences. And if you or your immediate family ever need support, our industry leading wellbeing and Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) are there to help 24 x7.

#A fair go for all

Hutchies is all about equal opportunities and embracing diversity. Our commitment to an inclusive, people focused culture isn't just talk — it's who we are. Through initiatives like Statim Yaga and partnerships like NAWIC and UNIQ You, we're putting our values into action. So, whether you're part of our award winning Indigenous programs or advancing women in construction, you're part of a family that values long term relationships and community. We're not just building structures; we're building a workplace where everyone gets a fair go.
