Payroll & Office Administrator

Lower Hutt | Permanent | Monday to Friday

If you're confident, practical and have experience across payroll, accounts and purchasing in a busy operational environment, this could be a really good fit.

Our client is an established Lower Hutt-based business operating in a busy, hands-on environment. Their administration team plays an important role in keeping the wider business moving, and they're looking for someone who can become a reliable, trusted part of that function.

This is a varied role covering payroll, accounts support, purchasing and wider office administration. It would suit someone who enjoys being across different areas of a business, likes understanding how things work and isn't afraid to get stuck in.

You’ll be working closely with both office and operational teams, so personality matters just as much as technical ability. We're looking for someone approachable, resilient and confident dealing with different personalities.

What you'll be doing

• Payroll processing and employee payroll queries


• Assisting with accounts payable and accounts receivable


• Processing invoices, purchase orders and expense claims


• Supporting purchasing and procurement across the business


• Liaising with suppliers and internal teams


• Working within an ERP system and keeping information accurate


• Resolving discrepancies and following up outstanding information


• Providing general office and administration support as required

The position itself spans payroll, invoicing, purchasing, supplier administration and wider operational support.

What we're looking for

You'll ideally have experience within manufacturing, engineering, construction, logistics or another hands-on operational environment.

Previous payroll and accounts experience is important, along with some exposure to purchasing or procurement. You don't need to know every product or material from day one, but you should be comfortable understanding what you're purchasing, why
