About us | He kupu mō mātou

Key responsibilities include:
Manage site administrative processes, documents, databases and systems, including site BCPs and continuous improvement of site procedures, including PA support where required.
PA support for the Site Operations Manager.
Demonstrated experience sitting on Site or senior leadership teams in a supporting role.

Coordinate meetings, appointments, travel, customer and external visits, and site events, including venues and catering.

Support procurement, purchase orders, supplies and budget tracking.
