Working with our client means joining a team that values trust, initiative, and a good sense of humour.

  • Flexible working hours to suit your lifestyle
  • Fully remote role with in-person collaboration, where helpful
  • Up to ÂŁ30,000 pro rata, based on your experience
  • Room to grow your role and responsibilities as the company scales
  • Opportunity to learn a new sector or expand your expertise in renewables
  • Coaching and training from business experts, including 90-day business planning with Bill Squires & team

The Ideal Candidate

You're a confident, proactive professional who thrives in a hands-on, autonomous role. You love organising, getting stuck in, and improving how things work. Ideally, you’ll have worked in or with trades businesses and be comfortable using project or admin software tailored to the sector. About you:

  • Has strong organisational and communication skills
  • Possesses solid IT knowledge – including Microsoft Office, cloud platforms, and online tools

  • Has a keen eye for detail in budgeting, forecasting, and reconciliation
  • May have knowledge of MCS documentation processes (advantageous)
  • Brings a people-first, problem-solving attitude

What you'll bring to the business:

  • Take ownership of back-office operations to free up the MD for business growth
  • Streamline systems and processes for smoother daily running
  • Oversee key tasks such as materials purchasing, invoice reconciliation, chasing payments, and speaking to clients
  • Track job costs, forecast cash flow, and manage supplier records~
