Are you a proactive, organised individual with a knack for keeping things running smoothly?
We're seeking a highly capable Engineering Admin Support Person—part administrator, part project coordinator, and part personal assistant—to support a busy, hands-on engineer. If you're someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys making life easier for others without taking the reins, this role is for you.

Focusing on consistent quality, we deliver value by providing seamless supply from a single source for all production optical requirements. We promote design for manufacture and work with our customers to take their projects from prototypes through to serial production.
About the Role:
This role is a blend of personal assistant duties and engineering project support. You'll be the go-to person for day-to-day organisation, inbox and calendar management, and general admin support—helping to keep engineering projects moving efficiently and on time.
