In an industry that moves fast and rarely slows down, Taylor has earned a reputation as the calm in the chaos. She’s the person who keeps the wheels turning when the pressure is on and expectations are high. Now, the wider industry has taken notice.

With more than 11 years in civil construction and seven years in leadership roles, Taylor has quietly become indispensable. She doesn’t just manage the admin. She elevates it. Through smarter systems, tighter controls and a sharp eye for detail, she has driven meaningful improvements across operations, reducing delays, improving reporting accuracy and strengthening compliance across projects. Less rework, fewer hiccups and better decisions. That’s Taylor’s handiwork.

As National Assets and Personnel Manager Jesse Duval puts it, “In a business where precision, organisation and leadership are critical, Taylor consistently goes above and beyond to support our team, our clients and our projects.”

What truly sets her apart, though, isn’t just how well things run on paper. It’s how well people work together because of her. Acting as the central link between project teams, suppliers and clients, Taylor keeps communication clear, timely and on point. The result is stronger relationships, faster turnaround times and confidence across the board.

She’s also a leader in the truest sense. Since joining Unyte two years ago, Taylor has built a team culture grounded in structure, trust and mutual respect. She mentors generously, supports career growth and leads by example, creating an environment where people feel prepared, valued and proud of the work they do.

Her impact extends well beyond the organisation, with trusted relationships built across Victoria and nationally. It’s that consistent, reliable and people-first professionalism that keeps clients and suppliers coming back.

Recognition isn’t new for Taylor, with multiple leadership and employee awards already under her belt. But taking out Administrator of the Year on Friday night felt like a moment that acknowledged what those closest to the work have always known.

In an industry where the spotlight often shines elsewhere, this win celebrates the backbone of the operation and a standout professional who proves that admin excellence doesn’t only support success. It’s the main driver.

Congrats, Taylor. Well-deserved and then some!
