Admin Assistant

Job Purpose To support the Admin & Operations Manager in running the group’s day-to-day administration.

• Visit group properties and sites on a regular schedule — offices, yards, warehouses, staff housing and leased premises.
• Check condition, cleanliness, security, utilities, fire extinguishers and signage, and record what is found.
• Report problems promptly with photos, raise repair requests, and follow up until the work is done.

• Track utility bills and meter readings for each property. 3. Field Work and Errands
• Travel to sites, suppliers, banks and government offices to submit or collect documents.
