About the Role
A successful construction business needs more than effective administration; it needs someone who can bring organisation, consistency, and structure to a busy working environment.
As Office Manager, you will be responsible for the smooth day-to-day operation of the head office, working closely with the COO and providing support across the wider business. You’ll play a key role in connecting head office with construction sites, senior management, and external contacts, ensuring information is communicated clearly and important actions, records, and deadlines are kept on track.
This is a hands-on position where you’ll have the opportunity to take ownership, improve processes, and make a genuine difference to the way the business operates.
What’s on Offer
- Salary of up to £45,000, dependent on experience.
- A permanent, full-time position with responsibility for the effective running of the head office.
- Regular interaction with the COO and senior leadership team, supporting key operational activities.
- A broad and varied role covering administration, construction operations, compliance, HR, and procurement support.
- The opportunity to develop and improve existing systems, processes, and working practices.
- A central role within a growing construction company, helping to keep teams, information, and operations connected.
