About the role
We are looking for a highly organised, proactive and capable Office Manager / Executive Assistant to support the smooth running of Eire Facades Ltd and provide direct day-to-day support to the company's Directors / Owners.
This is a central coordination role for someone who enjoys taking ownership, improving systems and keeping people, information and actions organised. The successful candidate will help reduce administrative pressure on the Directors / Owners by managing priorities, chasing follow-ups, coordinating suppliers, arranging employee travel and bookings, supporting new starter setup, maintaining Donseed and Microsoft 365 administration, and keeping office and site support processes moving.
Purpose of the role
The Office Manager / Executive Assistant will act as the organisational link between the Directors / Owners, office team, site teams, employees, suppliers and external support providers. The role is there to keep the business controlled and moving: making sure actions are followed up, records are accurate, meetings are prepared, systems are maintained, employee travel and bookings are arranged, new starters are set up properly, and the right information reaches the right people at the right time.
The right person will be a trusted, discreet and practical support for the owners of the business. They will not just complete tasks when asked; they will anticipate what is needed, keep a live handle on priorities, chase outstanding items, tidy up processes and help the Directors / Owners focus their time on clients, projects, staff, commercial decisions and business growth.
