*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.
