• Salary: Up to £42,000 per annum
• Location: Sheffield initially, with a permanent office in Rotherham or Doncaster
• Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

The Opportunity

• We are recruiting on behalf of a growing construction management business seeking an organised, proactive and commercially minded Office Manager to take ownership of its business support and operational administration.
• This is a varied, hands-on role offering the opportunity to make a real impact within a growing business. You will be responsible for ensuring the systems, processes, compliance and administration that underpin the business operate efficiently, supporting both project delivery and wider business operations.
• This is not simply a traditional office administration role. We are looking for someone who can work independently, take ownership, anticipate what needs to be done and continuously improve how things are done.
• If you enjoy bringing structure to a business, managing a varied workload and taking responsibility for keeping operations running smoothly, this could be an excellent opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of office administration, business support systems and operational processes.
• Coordinate training, competency records and bookings, subcontractor compliance, insurance documentation and PQQ reviews.
• Manage employee onboarding, inductions and offboarding, ensuring records and actions are kept up to date.
• Maintain business systems and ensure information is accurate, accessible and well organised.
• Support health and safety administration, including incident records, audits and communications.
• Maintain project documentation, drawings, reports, dashboards and management information.
• Coordinate diaries, shared mailboxes, travel, accommodation, company assets, workwear and office and site supplies.
• Support the company's business profile through social media updates and maintaining its online capability document.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, streamline administration and introduce consistent ways of working.

About You

• To be successful in this role, you will have:
• Previous experience in office management, business support or administration.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to prioritise competing demands.
• A proactive approach, with the confidence to work independently and take ownership.
• An understanding of compliance, document control and record management.
• Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office, and the ability to learn new systems quickly.
• Excellent communication skills and the confidence to liaise with colleagues and external contacts at all levels.
• A high level of accuracy, discretion and professionalism when handling confidential information.
• A practical, solutions-focused mindset and a genuine interest in improving business processes.
• Experience within the construction sector would be highly advantageous, particularly in relation to project documentation, subcontractor compliance and health and safety administration.
• Construction related background or knowledge a distinct advantage

Salary & Working Arrangements

• Salary of up to £42,000 per annum.
• Full-time, permanent position.
• Initially based between a Sheffield city centre office and home.
• Permanent office location to be established in either Rotherham or Doncaster.
• The business is currently in the process of establishing its new office, which will become the successful candidate's permanent working location.
• Until the new premises are ready, the role will involve working between the Sheffield city centre office and home. Once the new office opens, the role will be fully office-based, with no ongoing hybrid working arrangement.
• Candidates must be comfortable with the temporary working arrangement and the subsequent move to the permanent office in Rotherham or Doncaster.

Why Apply?

• You will have the opportunity to take ownership of the office management function, improve existing processes and help establish the structure and consistency needed to support continued growth.
