As PA to two Directors, you’ll manage complex diaries, coordinate meetings, and oversee day-to-day administration ensuring their time is spent effectively. Alongside this, you’ll play an active role in supporting project teams acting as a conduit between the two.

– Demonstrated commitment to previous employers, with a history of long-term placements (2+ years)

– Experience working as part of a larger project team is highly desirable

– Excellent organisation and multitasking skills with sharp attention to detail

– Strong written and verbal communication skills

– Professional, approachable, and confident in liaising with clients and colleagues at all levels

– Flexible, adaptable, and calm under pressure

– Proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with Deltek or Newforma a plus

– A proactive, positive attitude with discretion and reliability

The team is taken care of with top-tier benefits – private health care, financial protection plans, profit sharing, and loads of holiday time to enjoy life outside work.

This is a brilliant opportunity to join a collaborative, design-led practice with a global reputation, where your contribution will directly support senior leadership and play a key role in project success.
