• Supporting meeting and event set up/pack down, seminars and staff functions


• Assisting with scanning, binding, copying and other ad hoc administrative requests


• Helping with onboarding/offboarding tasks and office coordination activities

What we’re looking for

You’ll bring:

• Previous experience in administration, reception or office support roles


• A strong customer service mindset and professional presentation


• Excellent communication and organisational skills


• The ability to juggle multiple tasks and stay calm under pressure


• A proactive, team focused attitude and willingness to pitch in wherever needed


• Confidence using Microsoft Office (Word, Outlook and Excel)

Most importantly, you’ll be someone who enjoys helping others, takes pride in your work and contributes positively to team culture.

We offer:

• A supportive and inclusive team environment

• A modern, professional office in central Rotorua


• The chance to be part of a firm doing exceptional work with great people
