Operations Manager

ABOUT THE COMPANY

As part of the wider Cityscape Recruitment group of companies, Whitelake Recruitment Ltd is our specialist trades & labour (blue collar) division. Working with clients across the UK and further afield, we help secure job opportunities for skilled labour and specialist trades across the build and civil engineering sectors of construction. Based from our groups head office in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire, we have a fast-paced, professional and fun working environment, where our sales and operations teams work together towards the continued success of the business. We pride ourselves on our staff retention as it shows that not only do our staff enjoy working here, but they are offered career development, satisfaction and an environment that supports them on this journey. We work hard, but we also work together.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Due to growth and expansion, we are looking to add to our existing team to include an operations manager within our Whitelake Recruitment business. The successful individual will work alongside our existing sales and compliance team while reporting to our operations director. Some of the duties of this position are listed below, but each task can be expanded on at the point of the interview:

  • Management and oversight of our RISQS procedures (our rail compliance process which requires data input, management and organisation).
  • Credit control (i.e. chasing debtors via telephone and/or email).
  • Compliance – producing terms of business, right to work, and Sentinel-based documents.
  • Liaising with the umbrella payroll companies – registering contractors/operatives & payroll
  • Maintaining and running timesheet portal (payroll system)
  • Compiling the accounts breakdown for the T&L team
  • General administrative duties

 

The operations team of our group are incredibly important to the ongoing success and stability of our business, so this is an exciting opportunity for someone to join at the heart of our organisation.

REWARDS AND BENEFITS

As well as the opportunity to take on a significant role within a growing division of our group, we do understand that the basics have to be right. We are open to discussing full time, part time, or job-sharing possibilities with candidates and we offer flexi-time working arrangements to allow for everyone’s lives outside of work. Our standard holiday allowance is 22 days plus bank holidays with the ability for this to increase with service and purchasing additional allocation. Salary is negotiable based on experience but for the calibre of individual we are looking for, I would expect the successful candidate to be looking to earn anywhere from £27,000 to £32,000 per annum. Pension is provided plus additional office and business wide perks which can be discussed at interview.

REQUIREMENTS

To be successful we are looking to speak with applicants who have worked in office / operational management, compliance or payroll focused positions before. If you have any understanding of RISQS or Sentinel, then that is amazing, but realistically training can be provided on the specific systems and software that we use, given you have held similar operational management positions before. The key is we need a motivated individual with an eye for detail and fantastic organisational skills. It is a fast-paced, energetic market that we work in, so our business operates in a similar manor. We excel at what we do because we are quality focused, we work together as a team, and we drive forward with the motivation to succeed.

About this Recruiter

Becs Hulmston
Operations Director

A bit about me

I started my career specialising in creative Account management, planning and implementation across all channels for B2B brands, focusing on healthcare products. Since taking time away on maternity leave, I returned to a marketing role at a local recruitment consultancy. This opportunity has broadened my experience in more aspects of running a business, and I have since moved into an operationally focused role. I am now responsible for marketing and continuous business improvement – be that through new processes/technology or refining the resources we currently have.

About Cityscape Recruitment

Cityscape Recruitment is not like any other construction recruitment agency. Our business does not have a sales-driven environment, instead, we reward quality over quantity.

We use our specialist industry knowledge to help introduce and guide construction professionals into companies that best suit their desired career aspirations and personal goals. From Quantity Surveyors to Site Managers to Civil Engineers, we work to the same objective of helping to enhance their careers.

And our relationships don’t end on day one of a new role – we pride ourselves on our ability to build long-lasting relationships with both clients and construction professionals. And we are fortunate enough to work with many leading construction companies and professionals in London and throughout the rest of the UK.

SUPPORTING THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Clients we work for

Our clients range from small, privately owned specialist contractors right up to top-tier PLCs responsible for shaping our country’s landscape.

What our clients say

We have worked with Alex Wallace and the Cityscape Recruitment team for a number of years now and find their service excellent.

They supply well matched and vetted candidates and very quickly understood all our requirements. They have always demonstrated good market knowledge and an ability to deliver to our requirements.

Commercial Director,
Main Contractor

I have used Cityscape Recruitment multiple times over the last 5 years. Very pleasant to deal with and all candidates put forward for interview are well suited to the position and well vetted by the team, so there is no time wasted with unsuitable applicants. I would highly recommend Cityscape. I intend to use them again in the future should any vacancies become available.

Operations Director,
Platt and Reilly Ltd

The Cityscape Recruitment team has always been great to deal with. Always ready to listen to our needs and requirements, a quality some recruiters do not appreciate or have, then advising where they can assist in our staff procurement. We look forward to working with Laura and Cityscape in the coming years.

Director,
Soilfix
