Office Manager

Looking for more than just another administration role? This is your chance to bring fresh ideas, improve processes and become a valued part of a great team!

We're currently partnering with an established construction business seeking an experienced and proactive Office Manager / Accounts Administrator to join their team on an initial temporary basis, with genuine potential to transition into a permanent position for the right person.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, takes pride in their work and loves being the person who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

The business has a welcoming, down-to-earth and inclusive team environment, and they're looking for someone who can bring not only strong administration and accounts experience, but also personality, initiative and fresh ideas!

The Opportunity
Working closely with the business management team, you'll take ownership of the day-to-day office administration and accounts function, supporting a busy and evolving construction business.

While there are existing systems and processes in place, there's a real opportunity for someone to come in, identify improvements, streamline workflows and help shape how the role operates moving forward.

This isn't a position where you'll simply be expected to follow the same processes every day. The business genuinely welcomes someone who can think for themselves, make suggestions and take initiative.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing day-to-day office administration and ensuring everything runs smoothly.
• Accounts payable and accounts receivable, including invoice processing and creditor management.
• Liaising with suppliers, contractors and internal stakeholders.
• Supporting monthly invoicing and construction progress claims.
• Maintaining accurate financial records and documentation using MYOB.
• Assisting the management team with general administration and operational requirements.
• Reviewing existing processes and identifying opportunities to improve efficiency.
• Helping streamline manual administration and accounting processes.
• Taking ownership of tasks and proactively supporting the wider business.

About You
We're looking for someone who brings a great combination of accounts knowledge, administration experience and a genuinely positive, engaging personality.

You'll be someone who enjoys getting involved, building relationships and contributing ideas rather than simply waiting to be told what to do.

Ideally, you'll bring:

• Previous experience in office management, accounts administration or a similar position.
• Strong MYOB experience and confidence using accounting systems.
• Experience managing accounts payable, accounts receivable and invoicing.
• Excellent organisational skills and strong attention to detail.
• A proactive approach with the ability to identify improvements and take ownership.
• Strong communication skills and a friendly, approachable personality.
• The ability to work independently and manage changing priorities.
• A reliable, professional and adaptable approach to work.
• Experience within construction, trades or a similar operational environment would be highly regarded.
• Exposure to progress claims or project-based invoicing would be advantageous.

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who's engaging, switched on and genuinely wants to make a difference.

Someone who isn't afraid to ask questions, share ideas and help improve how things are done. You'll enjoy being part of a team, take pride in your work and be comfortable wearing a few different hats throughout the day.

What's on Offer?

• Temp-to-perm opportunity – genuine potential for a permanent position for the right person.
• 3–4 days per week – a great opportunity for someone seeking part-time work.
• Make the role your own – bring ideas to the table and help improve existing processes.
• Welcoming and inclusive team – join a business where you'll be treated as a valued team member from day one.
• Variety in your day – a broad role combining accounts, administration and operational support.
• Supportive management – work with a team that values initiative, communication and a positive attitude.
• Opportunity to contribute – play a genuine part in improving systems and helping the business operate more efficiently.
