This is a hybrid role with 1-2 days in the office in Atherton, Manchester or traveling (mostly in the Manchester area) and the rest of the week working from home. Flexi-hours will be considered. Being able to drive is essential.

As PA to the Director you will naturally assist with diary, travel and personal administration too but you will also work across the business helping where required - this might be raising quotes for clients, producing sales documentation, property management and project related support. This is a small business and pitching in with a flexible attitude is essential.

Key responsibilities -

• Diary management
• Travel
• Accommodation booking
• Ordering equipment
• Raising quotes for clients
• Updating spreadsheets
• Producing documents
• Managing post
• Email management
• Property management
• Small amount of personal administration

This is a fast paced and reactive working environment so suits someone who thrives under pressure and is happy to pitch in where needed. Any experience in construction or similar industries will be very welcome and hard work is rewarded.

This is a hybrid role, with 1-2 days in the office or traveling and the rest working from home.
