• Assisting in the security of the site, including management, maintenance and issue of keys; access cards; ID cards; and related staff, visitor and contractor registers.
• Providing administrative support in respect to the vehicle fleet where applicable.
• Keeping records in accordance with CSIRO’s standards using Content Manager.
• Under general supervision, undertaking a range of administrative and facilities management tasks, in accordance with established procedures and using skills developed through experience and/or training.
  
• Other duties as required.

Reference: 100506

To be considered you will need:

• Demonstrated work experience as a professional administration officer with the primary focus being on the provision of quality customer service through front-desk activities and visitor management, underpinned by excellent communication skills and the ability to multitask.
• Proven ability to demonstrate initiative, actively contribute as a team member and share relevant and useful information, accepting personal responsibility for doing the job well. 
• An ability to recognise and seek to resolve problems as they arise and escalate issues as required.
• Demonstrated strong organisational skills and the ability to manage shifting priorities, support multiple sites remotely and respond quickly to changing operational needs.
• Sound keyboard skills, knowledge of Microsoft Office applications including Outlook, Word and Excel, and the ability to become familiar with use of other software and systems.
