This is an exciting opportunity, ideal for someone with strong organisational skills, a keen eye for detail, and a passion for delivering excellence. It’s perfect for those who enjoy variety, thrive on challenge, and take pride in ensuring every detail counts.

This is a fully remote role, offering flexibility and autonomy while staying connected to a collaborative and supportive team. Though remote, you’ll work closely with a close-knit team that values communication, trust, and shared success.

In this position, you’ll be the vital link between our clients, engineers, and suppliers, ensuring that every project runs smoothly from first enquiry to final installation. You’ll combine exceptional organisation with sound business insight, helping us deliver outstanding service while identifying new opportunities for growth.

In this role, you will:

Keep Operations Flowing Smoothly
Oversee the full lifecycle of jobs—from quotations and scheduling to completion. Coordinate engineers, suppliers, and clients to ensure every project runs efficiently, on time, and to the highest standard.

Deliver Excellent Client Service
Be the first point of contact for enquiries, maintaining clear communication and professionalism throughout each project. Keep clients informed, address queries promptly, and uphold the high level of service GC Doors is known for.

Drive Business Growth
Support business development by identifying potential new clients, conducting research, and helping to prepare professional proposals, guides, and outreach materials that reflect our brand and values.

Enhance Processes & Performance
Monitor performance across operations, highlight areas for improvement, and work with management to implement practical solutions that increase efficiency and client satisfaction.
