You love to be organised. Christmas is sorted in July, holidays are booked a full year in advance kind of organised. Dotting the I's and crossing the T's is what you are all about. It gives you zen knowing you have everything in order, in situ and it keeps surprises at bay. My client, your new employer, needs you to love this way of working.
As well as that organisation, you're a mood enhancer. Full of life, enthusiastic and a natural motivator making sure everyone has their sh!t together and is ready to face the day, week, and months but most importantly with your support they will smash the projects out of the park.
Working in this place is a bit like spinning plates. It's fast-paced and has many moving parts. Your customers are leading brands in retail, sports, music, transport and construction. You're providing a service to them, Signage and AV. Imagine walking down the high street and all the amazing window displays enticing people in, or the lorries you see on the M60 advertising their products, signage within Manchester Airport catching your eye and making you spend your hard earnt cash on the latest booze, fashion or cosmetics! You get the drift. This place does it all. Design, produce, deliver and install and guess who is the one to pull all the strings together from an administrative pov, yup, you!
Communication has got to be on point as you'll be coordinating across clients, suppliers and all internal departments. You'll be the one that's coordinating making sure the shopping centres, the train stations and the stadiums are open so that the team can get in and out with minimum impact on day-to-day operations. As your finger is on the pulse of the day-to-day administration, you'll be the voice of the company when calls come through from clients, suppliers and everyone else in between.
With your administrative experience, warmth and positive personality and can-do attitude, you'll be a great fit into the team and hugely successful in this very well ran business. Longevity is important so they need you to be stable, once you are in this place, people on average stay around 12 years, which is impressive given the 40+ head count. There's an opportunity to progress and develop and they will support and aid your development any way they can but you've got to show the right attitude and behaviour and commitment to the cause.
This role is office-based. As you can imagine, it needs a presence, being so integral to the business and projects, you need to be seen and heard!
Whilst experience within signage or fabrication or large format graphics is ideal, what is super important is your ability to illustrate your organisation skills, your admin and your team work ethic.
