Why join Costa?

• Flexible part-time role (20 hours per week) with a consistent 5-day structure

• Work closely with experienced operational leaders

What we are looking for:

We are looking for a capable and solutions-focused Operations Support Administrator to join our Emerald team. This is a 24-month, fixed-term, part-time role, 4 hours per day, 5 days per week – although we are open to making this a casual position if you are the right person for us and the flexibility suits you better.

This is not a standard admin role. You will play a key role in ensuring payroll, rostering and operational data are accurate, understood and actionable, working closely with site leaders to identify issues and provide practical solutions.

This role will suit someone who enjoys working at pace, has strong attention to detail and is confident stepping beyond data entry to support decision-making and improve how work gets done.

What you’ll do:

• Validate payroll and operational data; resolve discrepancies with managers
• Support rostering, workforce allocation and accurate system records
• Maintain operational data (workforce, planting, stock) and finance processes
• Partner with site leaders to improve admin processes and drive efficiency
• There may be some weekend work required during the harvest season from time to time

What you’ll bring:

• Experience in payroll, administration or operations support
• Strong attention to detail and ability to interrogate data
• Confident using spreadsheets and systems
• Proactive, organised and solutions-focused, able to manage priorities

If you’re looking for a role where you can step beyond traditional admin and contribute to how the operation runs day-to-day, we’d love to hear from you. Applications are reviewed as they are received – don’t wait, apply today and grow your career with Costa!
