* Collate weekly fitter hours from Sage for payroll and reporting
* Prepare production reports and support general admin for the Operations Manager
* Act as the main point of contact for scheduling queries, escalating issues promptly
What We're Looking For
* Highly organised, detail-focused, and comfortable managing multiple priorities
* Strong communicator, confident liaising across departments
* Proficient in Microsoft Office; experience with Sage or similar ERP systems a plus
* Understanding of BOM principles, works orders, or bespoke manufacturing advantageous
* Proactive, reliable, and a good team player
