Paige Gardner’s Impact At Citecon

Leadership, expertise, and resilience define Paige Gardner, Contracts Administrator/Project Manager at CiteCon Pty Ltd. These qualities, combined with her deep-rooted family heritage as a fourth-generation builder, have earned her the prestigious Women in Building Award at the 2025 Mackay & Whitsunday Master Builders Awards.

A foundational employee at CiteCon, Paige has dedicated the past five years to mastering the complexities of commercial construction. Backed by qualifications including a Certificate III in Business Administration, a Diploma, and an Advanced Diploma in Construction & Building, she brings both academic strength and practical insight to her role. Her expertise spans contract administration, subcontractor management, and financial oversight, while she also steers CiteCon’s Integrated Management System – ensuring strict compliance with Work, Health, Safety, and Environmental standards. In addition, she serves as a Commissioner of Declarations, reflecting the trust and integrity she brings to the profession.

Whether navigating complex design-and-construct projects, managing tight budgets, or overcoming the pressures of large-scale developments, Paige approaches every challenge with clarity, adaptability, and precision.

Recognised not only for her driven work ethic and technical expertise but also for her mentorship and advocacy, Paige Gardner is carving a powerful path for women in construction.

Now, Paige’s impact is set to be recognised on an even bigger stage – she has been nominated for the Queensland Master Builders Awards, to be held later this year in October, where she will stand among the state’s best in the industry.
