·       Complete routine WHS and fire safety checks (e.g. doors, lighting, access systems)

·       Maintain a neat, tidy and compliant manager's office/room

·       Report to and liaise with the Operations Manager

·       Undertake administrative duties relating to projects as directed by the Operations Manager

·       Build productive relationships with clients and service providers
