ABOUT US

We are a growing construction business with around 60 employees, operating four main divisions: civil engineering, retention works, luxury garden rooms and SIPs housing. The variety of work keeps things interesting, and there’s a strong sense of teamwork and collaboration throughout the business.
As our Office Manager, you’ll be at the heart of it all – trusted to keep things running smoothly, confidently handle sensitive information, and support our directors and teams across the business.
This is a varied, busy and hands-on role that needs someone highly organised, process-driven, and used to working across all levels of a business. You’ll be responsible for everything from insurance and compliance to procurement admin, funding applications, and internal coordination. You’ll line manage a small admin team, act as the go-to for senior leaders, and bring structure and calm to the day-to-day.
‘This role is the hub of everything – if you like variety and keeping people organised and on track – you’ll love it here’ – Sarah, current Office Manager.
