Want to run the back office of a growing construction business, not just support it?
Our client is a high-end residential builder in Cornwall doing extensions, renovations and complete rebuilds. Demand has grown fast, and the owner is spending too much of his week on admin instead of with clients. They’re looking for someone to take that off his plate completely.
What you’d own
- Phones, new inquiries and the owner’s diary
- Weekly payroll for the site team (CIS)
- Invoicing at every project stage, and chasing payment when it’s late
- Ordering materials and scheduling the team onto jobs
- Bookkeeping in Xero
- Helping finish building their CRM and client portal, then running it day to day
The challenge
In most local firms, this work is split across two or three people. Here it’s one role, while the systems behind it are still being built. Do it well, and you’ll be the person the whole business runs on.
You’ll like this if you
- Have done this job before, in a bigger or smaller company, ideally in construction or the trades
- Are comfortable telling a client the next stage won’t start until the invoice is paid
- Will tell the owner when something is still outstanding
- Want a role that grows as the business grows
It’s probably not for you if you’d rather wait to be told what to do, or need office hours that never move.
