• Supporting the General Manager with day-to-day business operations.
• Maintaining accurate reports, records and documentation.
• Building strong relationships with suppliers and internal departments.

About You

Ideally you'll have experience in:

• Office Management.
• Purchasing or procurement.
• Manufacturing or engineering administration.
• Planning or scheduling.
• Stock or inventory control.
• Microsoft Excel, Outlook and Word.
