The Position
Site Administrator
Job Summary
Site Administrator
Location: Drinnick Stores, Nanpean, St Austell (with regular travel to other local Imerys sites around St Austell) Salary: £27,583.40 Hours: 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday working 7:00 - 15:00
About the Role
We're looking for an organised and enthusiastic Site Administrator to join our Operations team. This is far more than a desk-based administration role. You'll be at the heart of our sites, building strong relationships with managers, supervisors and employees across multiple locations while helping keep our operations running smoothly.
No two days are the same. One day you may be supporting payroll administration, coordinating site purchasing and liaising with suppliers, and the next you'll be visiting another site, supporting operational planning activities or helping organise medical appointments for employees.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, loves working with people and takes pride in providing excellent support to a busy operational environment.
What You'll Be Doing
- Building positive working relationships with colleagues across multiple sites
- Supporting site managers and operational teams with day-to-day administration
- Processing payroll exceptions and time recording activities
- Raising purchase requisitions and supporting procurement processes
- Managing and updating spreadsheets and operational reports
- Coordinating site administration activities
- Supporting Sales and Operational Planning through data analysis and reporting
- Providing cover and support across different sites when required
- Helping ensure offices operate efficiently and professionally at all times
What We're Looking For
We're interested in hearing from people who are:
- Naturally personable and confident communicating with a wide range of people
- Skilled at building and maintaining strong working relationships
- Comfortable working across multiple locations and adapting to different priorities
- Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
- Computer literate with strong knowledge of Google applications and other business systems
- Proactive, self-motivated and able to use their own initiative
- Able to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
- Valid license to drive in the UK.
Previous administration experience is desirable, and experience working in an operational, manufacturing, industrial or site-based environment would be advantageous.
Why Join Us?
At Imerys, you'll join a supportive team where your contribution makes a real difference. Alongside a competitive salary, you'll benefit from:
- Private Medical Insurance
- Company Pension Scheme
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Holiday Purchase Scheme
- Enhanced Family Leave
- Life Assurance
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Wellbeing and Mental Health Support
- Cycle to Work Scheme
- Recognition and Long Service Awards
If you're a people-focused administrator who enjoys variety, building relationships and being at the centre of a busy operation, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today and become part of a team where every day brings something different.
