Office Manager

You're the kind of person who can keep plates spinning, and you're able to spot the ones that are about to smash.

A growing business in Wakefield needs someone to run the office. Not "manage", actually run it.

Think scheduling, supply chains, HR admin, compliance… Basically, everything that keeps the lights on and the team running smoothly.

That's where you come in.

A few things you'll be doing:

• Herding engineers - scheduling and coordinating the day-to-day jobs.
• Keeping suppliers in check and making sure what's needed turns up when it should.
• Making sure the business isn't accidentally breaking the law and dealing with H&S, compliance, that kind of thing.
• Helping new starters - onboarding, forms, and showing them the ropes.
• Acting as the glue between field staff, office staff and the senior team.

A few things you'll need:

• Proper experience running an office. This isn't a step-up role.
• Common sense, initiative and the ability to spot problems before they become disasters.
• A calm head and a thick skin - it's a fast-paced SME. Things move (and break) quickly.

You'll be based full-time in their Wakefield office Monday to Friday - you'll need to be there in person to do this properly.

You'll be offered an annual salary of c£30k (depending on experience), 30 days holiday (inclusive of bank holidays), and the chance to work for a high growth business.
