With a strong presence across the South of England, the company delivers high-quality roofing solutions — both flat and pitched — across a range of commercial, residential, and local authority projects.
This senior-level role will take responsibility for the overall performance and smooth running of the office, including HR, compliance, finance coordination, and operational oversight. Reporting directly to the Directors, you’ll play a critical role in supporting strategic business growth and ensuring internal teams are aligned, efficient, and well-resourced.

Manage all HR-related matters including recruitment, onboarding, performance management, and employee wellbeing.
*
Ensure compliance with industry regulations, health & safety standards, and company accreditations.
*
Monitor business performance and work with Directors to deliver strategic and commercial objectives.
*
Maintain regular reporting and high-level visibility of project performance without being directly involved in delivery.
*
Foster a positive, team-oriented culture and act as a central point of leadership within the business.
What We’re Looking For
*
Proven experience in a General Manager, Business Manager, or senior leadership role within the construction or roofing sector.
*
Strong understanding of the construction lifecycle, with specific roofing experience being an advantage.
*
Skilled in team leadership, and office-based operations.
*
Commercial awareness with the ability to support financial planning, resource allocation, and process development.
*
Excellent organisational, communication, and interpersonal skills.

A confident, solutions-focused leader with the ability to work closely with Directors and represent the business professionallyBefore You Apply
