Accounts Manager & Office Administrator
M&E Specialist Contractor
Petts Wood, Kent
£35k - £50k DOE
Immediate Start
Looking for a role where your Sage super-powers and love of smooth-running offices actually shape the success of projects?
Exceptional opening to join a trusted client of mine, a £6 million-turnover Mechanical & Electrical contractor delivering everything from data cabling to district heating across the capital and Home Counties – as their new Office & Accounts Manager at their Orpington HQ, Monday to Friday.
(Hours flexible dependent on candidate circumstances)
The Opportunity:
You’ll own the full finance cycle in Sage – raising and posting all purchase and sales invoices, reconciling multi-bank accounts, and producing crisp monthly management reports that keep our £25k–£2.2m projects on track.
At the same time, you’ll captain day-to-day office operations for a friendly team, making sure supplies, systems, payroll and the odd project celebration all run without a hitch.
What You’ll Do:
Control the numbers – end-to-end Sage processing, bank feeds and reconciliations, supplier statement matching and VAT returns.
Own month-end – journals, P&L, cash-flow snapshots, plus prep for year-end and external accountants.
Keep the office humming – manage everything from stationery to subcontractor onboarding, supervise a small admin assistant and act as first point of contact for visitors and calls.
Support HR & payroll – collate timesheets, liaise with outsourced payroll and maintain HR files.
Be their Sage champion – train colleagues on best practice and help exploit every Sage module.
What You’ll Bring:
Fluent Sage skills with proven bank-rec and report-generation wizardry.
Solid bookkeeping/management-accounts experience (construction or M&E a bonus).
Natural organiser who can juggle invoices, suppliers and stationery orders without breaking a sweat.
Confident communicator – you’ll liaise daily with engineers, directors and blue-chip clients.
Why Them?
Big-impact projects, small-company feel – help power landmark builds while working one-to-one with directors who still know everyone’s name.
Stability & growth – 20+ years’ trading, repeat clients and memberships of BESA, ECA, Gas Safe and more.
Competitive package – circa £35k–£50k DOE, plus holiday, pension and free parking.
On-site golden retriever meet-and-greets (seriously, the directors bring the office dog in on Fridays!).
Feel this is for you?
Come and be the backbone of an M&E business that keeps the South-East switched on – I look forward to hearing from you! APPLY NOW
