Growing International Business: Are you the person everyone relies on to keep things running smoothly?

We're recruiting on behalf of a successful and expanding international engineering and manufacturing business that is investing heavily in its UK growth. This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Office & Operations Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day administration and operational activities of the business while working closely with senior management.

The Opportunity

This is far more than a traditional administration role.
You'll be the operational backbone of the UK business, supporting finance, HR, sales, suppliers, customers, and service operations while ensuring the office runs efficiently and professionally.
The successful candidate will enjoy a broad and varied position with genuine responsibility and autonomy.

Key Responsibilities

• Support accounts administration, supplier payments, and customer payment follow-up.
• Assist with payroll administration and employee record management.
• Coordinate onboarding and offboarding activities for employees.
• Support recruitment activities and assist with hiring processes.
• Manage company vehicle administration, including purchasing, financing, insurance, and compliance.
• Provide administrative support to the sales and service teams.
• Liaise with suppliers, customers, insurers, and external service providers.
• Purchase locally sourced materials and operational requirements.
• Maintain business records, systems, and documentation.
• Support continuous improvement of office and operational processes.

About You

We're looking for a highly organised and proactive individual who enjoys taking ownership and finding solutions.

You'll likely have experience in one of the following roles:

• Office Manager
• Operations Coordinator
• Administration Manager
• Office & Accounts Manager
• Business Administrator
• Finance Administrator
• Branch Administrator

To be successful, you'll ideally have:

• Previous experience in office management, administration, or operational support.
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Experience supporting accounting, invoicing, payroll, or finance administration.
• The ability to prioritise multiple tasks and work independently.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office and business administration systems.
• Experience using Sage or similar accounting software.
• Recruitment administration.
• Fleet or vehicle administration.
• AAT Level 4 qualification or part-qualified ACCA, CIMA, or ACA.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary package based on experience.
• A varied and autonomous role with real responsibility.
• The opportunity to join a growing international business.
• Long-term career development opportunities.
• Supportive and collaborative working environment.
• A chance to become a key member of a successful UK operation.
