What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who is extremely organised, proactive and comfortable taking ownership.

You should be the type of person who notices that something needs doing and deals with it rather than waiting to be repeatedly instructed.

The successful candidate should have:

• Strong administration and organisational skills.
• Previous experience in operations, office management or business administration.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Good Microsoft Office / Google Workspace skills.
• Confidence using CRM and cloud-based systems.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Ability to manage several priorities simultaneously.
• Confidence dealing with customers, engineers, suppliers and subcontractors.
• Ability to create and maintain organised systems and procedures.
• A professional telephone and email manner.

Experience within construction, facilities management, mechanical services, HVAC, plumbing, gas or building services would be highly advantageous.

Experience with Health & Safety, RAMS, fleet management, HR administration, Hubdoc or field-service CRM software would also be beneficial.

Working Arrangements

The role will initially be based from our operating office in Harrow.

During the initial training period, regular attendance at the office will be required so the successful candidate can fully understand our systems, customers, engineers and business processes.

Once fully trained and able to manage their responsibilities independently, working from home may be available when office or site attendance is not required.

This is not intended to be a purely remote position. The successful candidate must be able to attend the Harrow office, inspect company vehicles and attend sites when necessary.

What Success Looks Like

• A well-organised office and CRM.
• Jobs properly scheduled and followed through.

• Clear SOPs established throughout the company.
• Fewer operational issues requiring Managing Director involvement.
• Continuous improvements to the way the business operates.
