We are seeking a skilled and experienced Business Administrator to join the team and oversee the administrative and operational functions of a well-known and prestigious Construction Consultancy business, based in Bourne End, Hertfordshire. The ideal candidate will have a strong office management and business administration background, and an insight into the construction industry would be an advantage.
Our clients run an idyllic modern office in the village with beautiful countryside views. Although a lot of their work is in London and the Home Counties, the office couldn't be further from the hustle and bustle environment of the capital.
Established almost 15 years ago it is a relatively small team of around 20 individuals. A wonderful change for those who have worked in large companies where they felt like "just a number" rather than a respected team member.
