I've not tried this before but you could use group policy preference's and setup a local group update policy in the computer configuration, add the administrators group and add the user you want to be in that group.
Might work though like i say, never tried it myself.
EDIT: never mind, just read the link above, same thing.

Find or create a policy at the root of the OU of the computers you want them added to, go to computer configuration > preferences > control panel settings > local users and groups
The right click > new > local group and select that action as "update" and in group name select "Administrators (Built in)" and just add the user(s) to the members section at the bottom.
Should do the trick
....hopefully

Yes as many people have said, you may want to take this oppertunity to review the local permissions you are setting on PC's as creating a group policy each time you want to change it is messy.

Ahh, cool, thanks. I was "Adding". Oddly though, I don't have "Administrators (Built in)" when I look in AD groups. Will I have to create that first in AD?

When you're in the window that pops up after selecting a new local group it should appear in the drop down list on the second option, just under where you select it to be a "new, update, delete" etc policy.
