• Upload and maintain project documentation, updates, and communications in Basecamp
• Assist with general administrative tasks as required to support operations

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy in drafting and cost estimation
• Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision while maintaining a fast, reliable pace of output.
• Strong written English and professional communication skills
• Familiarity with Xero and Basecamp is an advantage
