Project Analyst

What is the hiring team after? A Project Analyst who treats a solar construction site as a data problem to solve. A piling contractor is filling this technical site administrator seat in Perth, WA, Australia, within its site-based team on a major solar project, and it has been clear that this is not a standard admin job.

To stand out, tailor your application to the duties below and lead with reconciliation, reporting and systems work. Show your Excel depth with real examples, and mention any Industrial Engineering, Process Engineering or Solar QA background. The employer has also indicated that it may consider sponsorship for the right candidate, which makes a well-matched application all the more worthwhile.

Recruiters shortlisting for this kind of seat read the top of a CV first, so put your strongest analysis result and your engineering qualification there. If yours still reads like a general admin resume, rework it with Build AI CV so it speaks to an analyst brief.
