You’re a massive people person. You have high EQ, you read people well and you genuinely enjoy supporting them. You’re the person who notices when someone’s struggling, makes the current starter feel instantly welcome and somehow gets the quietest person in the office talking.

You’re organised, tech savvy and proactive. You can have ten different things happening at once without losing your head, and you don’t need a perfectly documented SOP before you can act. In fact, you quite like looking at something messy and thinking, “Right. How can we make this better?”

Most importantly, you’re humble, hungry & smart. There’s no ego and no “that’s not in my .” If you can help, you help. Your favourite roles have always been in teams who genuinely care for & support each other with minimal office politics & red tape.

You’re now hungry for a new challenge. You want to make an impact. You need responsibility, problems to solve, things to improve and people who genuinely notice the difference you make.

This role is Office Manager for Paragon Engineering in Liverpool.

Paragon is relatively young, ambitious and growing really quickly. They’re a team of around 20 delivering genuinely complex engineering - bridges, tunnels, deep excavations, water infrastructure - for government, councils and major utilities, on high profile projects. Despite their size, they deliver the calibre of work you'd expect from a firm many times the size.





It’s a very stable company and this is the first time they're looking for an Office Manager - and they need this person to see how big this opportunity is and bring ideas & enthusiasm as to how they can be even better. Someone who sees what they're building and thinks, “I want in!”

You will report to Gus (Owner & Founder) and his right hand Jessica (Operations Manager). They’re incredibly capable, determined and a little bit crazy - in the best possible way.

Jess started out in an administrative role and worked her way up to Operations manager and she described first meeting Gus as: “I could see how completely he believed in where he was taking the business. I knew he meant what he said, knew he was going to get there, and I wanted to be part of it.”

The role itself is broad - handle the Office Management, assist with administration but also help with People & Ops. They feel more could be done to support the team - things like better onboarding, check-ins & culture initiatives and they’d love this person to drive that.

Paragon is also transitioning towards employee ownership, creating the potential for the right person to eventually invest in the company and genuinely become part of what they're helping build.

The role is based in their Liverpool office, with flexibility around start and finish times.

If you want polished corporate structure, a narrow and everything already figured out, this probably isn't for you.

But if you're ambitious, brilliant with people and want to work alongside seriously driven people while helping build a company you could one day partly own - this could be one hell of a career move.
