Office Manager

Shrewsbury

Permanent

£35,000 + bi-annual bonuses

Monday–Friday, 9 am – 5.30 pm (potentially some flexibility on the working hours)

Due to continued growth, our client is looking to recruit an Office Manager to join their business in a newly created position. This role has been created to bridge the gap between the Senior Management Team and the Engineering Teams. Whilst not actually managing any staff specifically, this is a key role designed to provide high-level coordination and organisational support to the Senior Management Team, helping them delegate day-to-day operational and administrative responsibilities as the business continues to expand.

We are looking for someone who is naturally organised, process-driven and comfortable taking ownership of a varied workload. You’ll be the person who makes sure things happen; deadlines are followed up and processes run smoothly.

Responsibilities and duties will include, but not limited to:

• Provide senior-level administrative support to the Senior Management Team, taking ownership of delegated tasks and ensuring actions are followed through to completion.
• Maintain the company Training Matrix, monitor expiry dates, arrange training courses, manage training accounts and certificates, and coordinate employee competency records and Personal Development Reviews.
• Provide Health & Safety administrative support, including near-miss reporting, site safety audit bookings, action tracking and compliance documentation.
• Maintain radiation-related compliance records and coordinate the servicing, calibration and certification of radiation monitors, gas monitors and other equipment.
• Manage PPE stock levels, ordering and replacements, alongside tool and equipment logistics, including deliveries, collections, couriers and shipping documentation.
• Coordinate vehicle administration, including vehicle check records, servicing and MOT bookings, and follow-up of outstanding checks.
• Monitor timesheet submissions and Time Off in Lieu (TOIL) balances, chasing outstanding information and escalating issues to management where necessary.
• Support the implementation and ongoing administration of SharePoint, maintaining organised records, document version control and current company policies and procedures.
• Coordinate marketing and conference materials, promotional items, event logistics, staff social events and wider company activities.
• Maintain accurate spreadsheets, reports, records and management information, ensuring business information is organised and readily accessible.
• Coordinate processes, priorities and deadlines across the business, proactively following up outstanding actions and supporting management with ad-hoc projects and operational requirements.
• Identify opportunities to improve administrative processes, internal systems and ways of working, helping to improve efficiency and ensure recurring tasks are completed on time.

Skills and Experience

• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
• Confident working independently and taking ownership of responsibilities
• Process-driven and methodical in their approach
• Comfortable working closely with senior management
• Proactive and able to anticipate what needs doing rather than waiting to be asked
• Confident using systems and technology
• An experienced Microsoft Excel user
• Able to manage several priorities without losing attention to detail
• Strong Excel skills, including experience with PivotTables and manipulating data, would be a real advantage.
