Kick-start your office career with a growing local business that builds aquatic life support systems for some of Australia’s best-known organisations — including CSIRO, Taronga Zoo and SEA LIFE Melbourne.

About Pure Aquatics

Pure Aquatics is an aquaculture and aquatics equipment supplier and systems integrator based in Wauchope, on the NSW Mid North Coast. We supply filtration, water quality monitoring and life support equipment to aquaculture farms, research institutions, zoos and aquariums across Australia — and we design, fabricate and install complete aquatic systems. We’re a small, hands-on team where everyone’s work matters.

About the role

We’re looking for a reliable, well-organised Junior Office Administration Assistant to support the day-to-day running of our office. This is a genuine entry-level opportunity — no prior office experience is required. We’ll train you in everything from our sales and accounting systems to freight bookings and customer service.

What you’ll be doing

• Answering phones and greeting visitors — you’re the friendly first point of contact
• Monitoring the sales and info email inboxes and directing enquiries to the right person
• Processing website orders and preparing invoices (WooCommerce and Xero — training provided)
• Booking freight and preparing consignment notes and shipping labels
• Data entry, filing and keeping our records tidy
• Ordering office and packaging supplies, handling incoming and outgoing mail
• General admin support to the sales, accounts and projects teams

What we’re looking for

• A positive attitude and willingness to learn — this matters more to us than experience
• Clear, friendly phone manner and good written communication
• Basic computer confidence (email, Microsoft Word/Excel or similar)
• Accuracy and attention to detail, especially with numbers
• Reliability — you show up, follow through, and ask questions when unsure
• School leavers, TAFE students and career-changers are all encouraged to apply

What’s in it for you

• Full on-the-job training with a structured onboarding plan
• A genuine pathway from part-time to full-time as the business grows
• Variety — no two days are the same in a business that supplies everything from water testing kits to zoo aquarium systems
• A supportive small team, local to Wauchope — skip the commute to Port Macquarie
• Pay and conditions in accordance with the Clerks — Private Sector Award 2020
