Office Administrator

Overview

An Office Administrator is needed to join Manders Building & Civil Engineering, a close knit construction business delivering practical, hands on projects across the region. Based in a busy and friendly office, this is a brilliant opportunity for someone organised, upbeat and switched on who enjoys being at the heart of a team.

With seven office staff and around twenty engineers on site, Manders needs a capable and reliable administrator who can keep things moving day to day. You will be the person people turn to for updates, information and support, making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

This role is varied and people focused.

You will also support with purchase orders, basic quotations and invoices, liaising with the accounts team using systems such as WORMS and Sage.

There is a compliance element too, but you will not be left to figure it out alone. You will help keep training records up to date, track subcontractor paperwork, maintain vehicle documents and support with general office organisation. Over time, you will become a key part of how the office runs smoothly.
