• Oversee basic finance tasks: petty cash, invoicing, budget tracking, and liaison with finance teams
• Maintain clear records of office activities and compliance documentation (QEHS)
• Support audits and ensure all policies and practices meet safety and quality standards
• Coordinate holiday planning and ensure appropriate cover during staff absences
• Manage stock levels and oversee procurement for office and canteen supplies

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven team leadership experience in a customer service or office management role, within contract logistics
• Confident managing both customer relationships and internal office operations
• Financial admin experience (invoicing, petty cash, supplier management)
• Excellent organisational and communication skills
• Comfortable working in a compliance-focused environment (QEHS awareness is a plus)
• IT proficiency, including MS Office and digital filing systems
• Ability to prioritise, multitask, and proactively manage a busy workload

What’s on Offer:

• A varied role with autonomy and clear impact
