Assisting with equipment orders, deliveries and supplier coordination
Managing defective equipment processes, including tracking, repair and replacement
Providing responsive support to clubs and internal teams on equipment enquiries
Contributing to reporting, audits, and continuous improvement of systems and processes

At its core, this role helps ensure our people have what they need to do their job safely and effectively.

What You’ll Bring

You’re someone who is organised, reliable, and enjoys working behind the scenes to make things run smoothly.

Experience in administration, logistics, asset, or inventory management
Strong attention to detail and accuracy
Confidence working with systems and data (experience with asset systems a plus)
Good planning and organisational skills
A proactive, can-do approach, you take ownership and follow things through
