A construction services business required a Deputy Office Manager to support the day-to-day running of operations and deputise for senior managers when needed. This varied role combined administration, plant management, purchasing and payroll support, offering the opportunity to take on responsibility across different areas of the business.
Core responsibilities
The role covered deputising for the Office Manager and Purchasing Manager, including wages processing, ordering materials and scheduling transport. Additional duties included managing plant repairs, servicing and inspections, maintaining calibration and insurance records, coding invoices, processing claims and supporting the wider administration team.
Skills and experience required
The organisation was looking for someone with strong Excel and IT skills, excellent organisational ability and the confidence to work independently. Experience in administration, process management and data handling was essential, with a background in the construction sector an advantage.
Value to the business
This appointment ensured continuity and efficiency across office operations, strengthened compliance processes and supported both management and site teams. It reflects the type of business support and administration recruitment we regularly manage in Guildford, Worthing and across Surrey and Sussex.
