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 significant 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.

Experience using an ERP system is also important.
We're open on the specific platform, as long as you're comfortable working within more detailed systems and understand how purchasing, accounts and operational information connect.
The formal brief specifically calls for administration experience in a manufacturing or construction environment, alongside ERP and financial process knowledge.
You'll suit this role if you're someone who:
Communicates confidently and builds good relationships
Is resilient and comfortable holding your own in a busy environment
Has strong attention to detail
Can manage competing priorities without getting flustered
Is happy asking questions when something doesn't look right
