Do you love variety, thrive in a fast-moving business and spot what needs doing before anyone asks?

We’re recruiting for an experienced Office Manager to join a high-end construction and development business in Wallingford with a strong reputation, a real focus on sustainability, and exciting plans for growth.

This is a broad, hands-on role supporting the smooth running of three businesses. You’ll need to be highly organised, proactive, resilient and confident managing multiple priorities. This is not a role for someone who wants the same routine every day — the business is growing, and this role will grow with it.

What you’ll be doing:

• Office and business administration support across 3 businesses
• PA support to directors
• Diary management and meeting coordination
• Accounts prep and chasing unpaid invoices
• Procurement support, research, costings and POs
• Project admin support to Project Managers
• Managing compliance and safety documentation including H&S and ISO ( includes occasional site visits)
• Improving processes and driving efficiency
• Supporting tenders, proposals and general business operations
• Managing documents, filing and project folders
• Liaising with external IT support
• Answering phones and helping keep everything running smoothly

What we’re looking for:

• At least 5 years’ experience in a similar role
• Ideally a background in construction, development, property or similar
• Strong organisational and multitasking skills
• Tech savvy with good Excel and Outlook skills
• Proactive, practical and improvement-focused
• Calm under pressure, accurate and detail-driven
• Confident communicator with a positive, can-do approach
• Able to adapt quickly in a growing and changing business
• Driving licence and own car

The role:

• 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday ( some flex available on this so if you can offer us 30 hrs per week please and apply and tell us)
• Hybrid working available
• More office-based initially while learning the role
• Flexible start and finish times by agreement
• 20 days holiday + bank holidays

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to play a key role in a growing business and be the main point of contact on every aspect of the business. You will be the hub and an essential part of the team
