The successful candidate will play a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of our office by managing administrative tasks, supporting staff, and maintaining efficient office procedures. This position requires a proactive individual with excellent communication skills, the ability to multitask effectively in a fast-paced environment, and a strong focus on customer service. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working to targets, managing their own workload, and building new connections to support business growth. They must thrive under pressure and work effectively within a multi-disciplinary team.
While not essential, previous experience in the construction or trade industry would be beneficial.
Responsibilities:
- Perform high-level administrative tasks with accuracy and efficiency
- Manage and prioritise workload independently to meet deadlines and targets
- Provide excellent customer service, acting as a key point of contact for clients and colleagues

If you are a motivated and results-driven individual looking to contribute to a dynamic office environment, we encourage you to apply for this exciting opportunity as an Office Administrator.
This role is based within Two Hammers Roofing, which works closely alongside our sister company, Two Hammers Scaffolding. The two businesses operate hand in hand, sharing resources and supporting one another to deliver a seamless service to our customers.
Although you will be employed by Two Hammers Roofing, you will work as part of a wider office team that supports both businesses. This provides a varied and dynamic working environment, offering exposure to different aspects of the roofing and scaffolding industries while developing a broad range of administrative, customer service, and business skills. You will collaborate with colleagues across both companies, gaining valuable experience and insight into how two successful businesses operate together.
