As Office Manager, you will also play a central role in enabling a collaborative, inclusive workplace culture that encourages innovation, knowledge-sharing, and impact. You will help create an environment where engineers can focus on their craft, collaborate effectively, and deliver technology solutions that make a real difference.

Core Responsibilities

Administrative Assistant

• Provide professional and proactive support to the Site Lead and other senior leaders, including diary management, meeting preparation/follow-up, travel arrangements, and expense processing.
• Support onboarding logistics for new hires, partnering with the IT Manager and HRG as needed on equipment ordering, IT setup, induction scheduling, and first-day support.
• Organise and occasionally deliver in-person and virtual meetings, offsites, and internal events with seamless execution and clear communications.

• Act as the first point of contact for visitors, ensuring a professional welcome and smooth arrangements.
• Manage general services and supplies, including ordering and maintaining kitchenware, stationery, and office consumables.
• Evaluate and arrange coffee, catering, and refreshment services to enhance the workplace experience.
• Coordinate with service providers for cleaning, maintenance, and other essential operational needs.
• Maintain vendor relationships, onboard suppliers into company systems (e.g., Coupa), and monitor budgets to ensure cost efficiency.
• Streamline office workflows and implement operational improvements to support productivity and collaboration.
• Take ownership of a calendar of office events and activities that encourage connection, collaboration, and employee wellbeing, such as team lunches, shared breakfasts, and wellbeing activities, including on-site massage sessions.
• Manage event arrangements from planning through delivery, including bookings, suppliers, catering, communications, budgets, and gathering employee feedback.
• Carry out occasional hands-on setup and reset of office spaces for offsites, meetings, and events. This may include moving and arranging tables and chairs, setting out supplies and refreshments, and tidying spaces afterwards, with support where needed.

What You’ll Bring

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in an administrative, executive support, or office management role—experience supporting senior leaders preferred.
• Proven ability to manage competing priorities, work to tight deadlines, and maintain attention to detail.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build effective relationships with staff, suppliers, and stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• High level of discretion when handling confidential information.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and experience with procurement/finance tools (e.g., Coupa) desirable.
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with the ability to anticipate needs before they arise.
• A practical, hands-on approach and willingness to help with the day-to-day needs of the office, including occasional physical setup for meetings and events.
