• Safety & Compliance: Assist the Operations Manager with maintaining safety documentation and QA records.

What We Are Looking For

• Industry Experience: Previous experience working within a manufacturing, engineering, or building/construction environment is highly regarded.
• System Savvy: Strong proficiency in ERP/MRP systems (e.g., SAP, Pronto, MYOB Advanced) and the MS Office Suite (especially Excel).
• Problem Solvers: Someone who can think on their feet when logistics timelines shift or production schedules change.
• Communication Skills: The ability to communicate effectively with everyone from factory-floor fabricators to corporate project managers.
• Organization: Superior time-management skills with a proven ability to juggle competing priorities without dropping the ball.

What’s in It for You?

• Competitive Salary: Attractive remuneration package tailored to your experience.
