Office Manager

Office Manager / PA to Managing Director

Location; Shropshire

We are working with an established construction business based in Shropshire, delivering residential and commercial projects with a strong reputation for quality workmanship and reliable service. The business operates a close-knit, hands-on environment, with a real focus on compliance, process and taking care of its people and clients alike.

This is a broad and varied Office Manager / PA role sitting at the centre of the business. You'll manage day-to-day office operations, purchasing and construction compliance, while providing close personal support to the Managing Director — including occasional assistance across two further businesses the MD owns. Hours are flexible, with the role based full time in the office initially, moving to some home working once training is complete.

This would suit an organised, construction-experienced Office Manager or PA who enjoys variety and structure in equal measure. You'll be confident liaising with everyone from site workers and subcontractors through to senior management, and comfortable being the trusted, central point of contact for a busy, growing business. In return, you'll get genuine autonomy, close exposure to senior leadership, and the chance to shape and own the compliance and office processes as the business continues to grow.
