Office Manager or similar looking for a step-up into a leadership role in a busy Design office with development and progression opportunities into Technical Management within a global business?


This is a rare opportunity for someone from a busy office, operations or coordination background to move into a Design & Estimating environment - with technical training provided. The focus is organisation, delegation and control, not hands-on design.

This role suits someone who already manages people or workloads and wants a bigger challenge in a more structured, technical setting. You'll sit at the centre of the Design & Estimating team, controlling enquiries, allocating work and keeping the team running efficiently.


Features of the Role

You will be responsible for:
* Acting as first point of control for incoming design enquiries
* Reviewing, prioritising and allocating work across the team
* Managing workloads, turnaround times and bottlenecks
* Reallocating work to maintain efficiency
* Producing simple reports on workflow and capacity
* Supporting and guiding team members day-to-day
* Maintaining structure and organisation in a fast-paced environment
