Office Manager

Office Manager – Plant Division (Greater Manchester)

We’re recruiting for an experienced Office Manager to lead operations for a growing Plant Division within our Greater Manchester-based client.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone with sharp experience in a construction or plant environment. You’ll take full ownership, drive process improvements, and embed settled systems to streamline operations.

Salary: Fully office-based (Mon-Fri), up to £40,000 (DOE).


Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the Plant Division’s office function and team, ensuring smooth daily operations while identifying process improvements.
  • Support the recent Coins ERP system rollout—optimise adoption and strengthen operational efficiencies.
  • Oversee team management, plant administration, and cross-divisional reporting.
  • Implement process improvements, refine workflows, and sharpen commercial oversight.
  • Maintain accurate cost, documentation, and financial records.
  • Champion team engagement through change assessments and training.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Essential:

  • Proven background in construction, engineering, or plant management.
  • Strong leadership – must be able to influence, engage, and motivate.
  • Commercial awareness aligned with operational needs.
  • Computer-literate (ERP experience, ideally Coins, is a strong asset).
  • Proactive, resilient, and hands-on—eager to “get stuck in” and implement change.
