Administration & Office Manager in Perth

Lead the team that keeps Allied Pumps running. Allied Pumps is a family owned Western Australian business delivering pumping, water treatment and water infrastructure solutions across Australia. We have around 220 people, with our head office in Canning Vale and a growing team in Clark, Philippines. Our mission is to provide sustainable, innovative and safe solutions for conserving water, our most precious resource.

Following a long-serving team member’s retirement, we’ve redesigned our administration function and created a new senior role to lead it. We want someone who sees what needs doing before they’re asked, raises the standard and makes the work easier for everyone around them.

What you’ll own:

• Your team: Lead, coach and develop our administration team in Perth and Clark. Set clear standards and routines, and make sure every key task has a trained backup.
• Client experience: Own front of house and make sure every client, supplier and visitor gets a professional welcome. Every client and executive meeting is set up properly, from catering through to technology and materials.
• AI and efficiency: Lead the adoption of AI and automation across administration and reporting. Find the manual, repetitive work, fix it, and report the time saved each quarter. You’ll have our approved AI tools and a leadership team that backs this work.
• A workplace that reflects who we are: Keep the office clean, organised and professional. Manage cleaning, maintenance and facilities contractors, and track works from quote to completion.
• Bringing our EAs together: Coordinate our departmental Executive Assistants so the business works to common standards and pulls together on major projects, events and client visits.
• People and compliance admin: Oversee onboarding and offboarding readiness, training and licence registers, training rebate claims, HRIS timesheet support, HSE reporting and client vendor portals.
• Suppliers and budget: Manage administration and facilities contracts and the budget, and report on spend and savings.

• 5+ years of administration experience, including at least 2 years leading an administration or office team.
• A track record of running reception, office presentation and facilities to a high standard.
• Confidence hosting clients and senior stakeholders, with genuine care for the client experience.
• Hands on use of AI and digital tools, with examples of processes you’ve improved or streamlined.
• The energy and leadership to set standards and hold the team to them.
• Strong accuracy, discretion and judgement with confidential information.
• Advanced MS Office skills and confidence with HRIS and business systems.

Highly regarded:

• Experience with Employment Hero, Myosh or Smartsheet.
• A manufacturing, construction or resources background.
