While the role is varied, the core focus is on providing essential administrative and operational support. Your day-to-day will involve:

• Procurement & Order Management: This is a key part of the role. You will be responsible for the full cycle of ordering client equipment. This includes:
  • Raising quotes and ensuring they are accurate, date-specific, and reflect the correct margins.

  • Processing orders and diligently tracking their status from placement to delivery.
  • Keeping accurate records of prices, quantities, and quotes to ensure everything is correct for the client and the business.

• Communication: You have excellent written and verbal communication skills and can engage with people at all levels to find out the information you need.
• Organisation: You are naturally organised with a strong attention to detail. You're comfortable juggling multiple tasks with shifting priorities.
• Tech Savvy: You are confident with Microsoft 365 (especially Excel, Outlook, and Word). Experience with Xero or Dext is a bonus, but a willingness to learn new systems is essential.
