Administrative Officer

About PANATIX

PANATIX Analytical Systems is a specialized engineering company in process analyzers, sampling systems, CEMS, and industrial instrumentation, serving oil & gas, refining, petrochemical, power generation, and water treatment clients across Egypt and the MENA region. We deliver engineering services, system integration, and authorized OEM channel support to major industrial operators and EPC contractors.

About the Role

We are hiring a self-managed Office & Administration Coordinator to take full ownership of the company's daily administrative function. This is a central, hands-on role that touches nearly every department - operations, HR, accounting, procurement, and logistics - and acts as the organizational backbone that keeps documentation, correspondence, and follow-ups moving without delay.

The right candidate is not someone waiting for instructions. You will run a structured task system, drive follow-ups to closure, and produce clear daily and weekly visibility for management. You will also coordinate outdoor errands and field tasks through the company's outdoor admin clerk, ensuring every assignment is completed with proper documentation and proof of closure.

This role suits someone who takes pride in being the person the whole office relies on - accurate, organized, and consistently one step ahead.

Key Responsibilities

Office Administration & Daily Operations

• Run the full daily administrative cycle of the office independently.
• Handle professional correspondence (email and phone) with customers, suppliers, couriers, and service partners — drafting, replying, and following up to closure.
• Coordinate meetings, visitors, and travel arrangements when required.
• Maintain office supplies, manage relationships with service providers, and ensure the office environment runs smoothly.

Document Control & Filing

• Own the company's filing system (soft and hard copy) for quotations, purchase orders, invoices, delivery notes, shipping documents, HR letters, supplier records, and internal forms.
• Apply consistent naming conventions, version control, and folder structures so any document can be located in seconds.
• Maintain accurate logs and registers (incoming/outgoing correspondence, deliveries, document archive).

Logistics, Shipping & Outdoor Coordination

• Coordinate inbound and outbound shipments: courier booking, AWB tracking, customs documentation handoff, delivery confirmation, and document collection.
• Assign and supervise outdoor errands (deliveries, collections, bank visits, government offices, supplier pickups) through the outdoor admin clerk.
• Ensure every outdoor task is closed with documented proof — receipts, stamped papers, reference numbers, or signed confirmations — and recorded in the task log.

Procurement & Supplier Follow-Up Support

• Support the procurement cycle by chasing supplier quotations, confirming order acknowledgments, following up delivery dates, and ensuring all related documents (PO, invoice, delivery note, packing list) are properly collected and filed.
• Maintain organized supplier records and contact lists.

HR Administration Support

• Maintain employee files, onboarding paperwork, and attendance-related administrative records.
• Prepare standard HR letters, forms, and internal memos under guidance from management.
• Coordinate logistics for team meetings, training sessions, and internal events.

Accounting Documentation Support

• Collect, organize, and hand off invoices, receipts, supplier documents, and expense records to support the finance function.
• Ensure no document is missing or misfiled when finance needs to process payments or reconcile records.

Task Tracking & Reporting (Critical)

• Maintain a structured Master Task Log covering all open items, with priorities, due dates, next actions, follow-up dates, and closure evidence.
• Produce a short daily progress update and a weekly summary for management — clear status, what was closed, what is pending, and what's next.
• Close tasks with evidence (reference number, link, file path, or signed proof) — verbal "done" is not enough.

Requirements

Education

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited university - preferably in Business Administration, Management, Accounting, Commerce, Languages, or a related discipline.
• Strong graduates from other faculties are welcome to apply if their experience and skills match the role.

Experience & Skills

• 3+ years' experience in administration or office coordination, ideally in an engineering, industrial, or contracting environment.
• Proven follow-up discipline - able to manage multiple open items without losing track and close them without reminders.
• High attention to detail with names, dates, reference numbers, and filing accuracy.
• Professional written and spoken Arabic and English, with the ability to draft clear, business-appropriate emails.
• Strong MS Office skills (Word, Excel, Outlook) - comfortable building task logs and tracking sheets in Excel.
• Comfortable with cloud filing systems (OneDrive, Google Drive, SharePoint).
• Confident handling multiple priorities under deadline pressure without dropping items.

Personal Qualities

• Self-managed and accountable - takes ownership from request to closure.
• Structured and methodical - works from lists and logs, not memory.
• Professional, calm, and reliable in communication with customers, suppliers, and colleagues.
• Discreet with confidential business and HR information.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with any ERP system (ERPNext, SAP, Oracle, Odoo, etc.).
• Exposure to shipping and customs documentation (invoice, packing list, AWB, certificates of origin).
• Background in document control or QA/QMS documentation practices.
• Additional certifications or training in office administration, business correspondence, or document control.

What We Offer

• A central, high-visibility role with direct exposure to company management.
• Stable position in a specialized, growing engineering company serving the MENA region.
• Clear responsibilities, defined reporting structure, and genuine growth potential for high performers.
• Professional working environment with exposure to industrial projects across multiple sectors.
• Competitive salary based on qualifications and experience.
