Data Entry Operators & Team Leaders – Hobart (Election Project)

We’re recruiting a large team of Data Entry Operators and Team Leaders to support the upcoming Local Government Election with the Tasmanian Electoral Commission.

This is a short-term, high-volume project based in Hobart, working as part of a structured team to accurately process ballot paper data during the election period.

If you’re reliable, detail-focused and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, we’d like to hear from you.

About the roles
You’ll be part of a dedicated data entry centre, working to process large volumes of information quickly and accurately. Roles are available as Data Entry Operators and Team Leaders, with Team Leaders also supporting supervision and workflow across small teams.

This is a structured environment with clear expectations, on-site support, and a strong focus on accuracy and consistency.

Shifts are approximately 7 hours with a break, across both daytime and evening options.

We’re ideally looking for people available across multiple dates, including both the August testing phase and October/November event.

About you

To be considered, you will need:

  • The ability to meet minimum standards (around 7,000 keystrokes per hour with 90% accuracy)
  • Good attention to detail and consistency
  • Reliable availability across the project dates
  • A professional approach and ability to follow instructions
All workers must also be politically neutral and willing to complete the required declarations prior to starting.

  • Opportunity to be involved in an important state-wide process
  • Casual hourly rates in line with the Tasmanian State Service Award
