About This Role
This is a senior operational role that goes beyond basic office management—it is about ensuring the physical and administrative backbone of a growing beverage manufacturer runs smoothly. The position sits within HR but focuses heavily on facilities, assets, and service coordination, meaning you will bridge internal operations with external vendors and contractors. It suits a hands-on professional who can balance strategic planning with daily troubleshooting, especially in a manufacturing environment where uptime and safety matter.
What the Requirements Say About This Role
The search is for someone who has managed both people and physical infrastructure, not just an administrator who handles paperwork. The implied profile is a candidate who can design and enforce standard operating procedures for everything from travel logistics to asset safeguarding, while also handling vendor negotiations and compliance. Experience in a factory or industrial setting is likely valued, as the role involves periodic travel to plant locations and understanding of maintenance and utility systems.
How to Approach This Application
Your CV and cover letter should highlight specific examples where you improved administrative efficiency, reduced costs, or streamlined facility management in a mid-to-large organization. Emphasize any experience with asset inventory systems, vendor contract management, or safety compliance. Since the role reports to a Corporate HR & Admin Manager, showing that you can communicate across departments and manage multiple service streams without constant supervision will be key.
Who This Role Suits
This role is best suited for an experienced administrator or facilities manager with at least five years in a structured company, likely in manufacturing or FMCG. It is moderately competitive, as it requires a blend of soft skills and technical knowledge that not every general administrator possesses.
