Office Manager

Job Description

Join us, be part of more.

We’re so much more than an energy company. We’re a family of brands revolutionising how we power the planet. We're energisers. One team of 21,000 colleagues that’s energising a greener, fairer future by creating an energy system that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels, whilst living our powerful commitment to igniting positive change in our communities. Here, you can find more purpose, more passion and more potential. That’s why working here is #MoreThanACareer. We do energy differently – we do it all. We make it, store it, move it, sell it and mend it.

About your team:

At Centrica Energy, our mission is to move it.

We’re energy movers by nature. We’re a global renewable energy trading company which helps move energy from source to use – powering businesses, homes, and societies as they transition to a new sustainable energy future. If the idea of working to create a sustainable energy future also moves you, we may very well be the right place for you.

Centrica Energy has an exciting new opportunity for a 12-month fixed term period for an Office Manager to join our dedicated team on our journey towards energising a greener, fairer future. The role is based out of our central London office (close to Marble Arch) with 3 days per week based within the office.

In this role you will be responsible for the efficient and smooth running of daily operations within this busy commodity trading office. You will handle a range of administrative and operational tasks to support colleagues and company leadership across all functions, ensuring a productive, well-maintained, and dynamic office environment.

Key Accountabilities:

• Oversee daily office functions and act as the primary point of contact for office management enquiries.
• Project manage office change plan, including design improvements, desk moves, etc.
• Manage office inventory, ordering supplies, and coordinating maintenance with vendors as needed, working with our Facilities Co-ordinator.
• Develop and implement office procedures and policies to improve operational efficiency.
• Handle sensitive information with discretion and manage external correspondence on behalf of executives when necessary.
• Ensure all health and safety regulations are met, conducting regular audits and coordinating with relevant departments to comply with industry standards.
• Manage building access, fire safety, and emergency procedures to maintain a secure and safe work environment.
• Organise internal events, team meetings, client visits, and offsite activities to foster team cohesion.
• Support internal communications, ensuring all employees are aware of office policies, updates, and upcoming events.

Who are we looking for?

• Experience in office management or a similar role, preferably in the finance, trading, or commodities sectors.
• Proven record of overseeing facilities project work.
• Experience and ability to design, plan and deliver events to bring colleagues together.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and familiarity with office management software.
• Familiarity with GDPR, health and safety regulations, and best practices in data handling.

We are proud to be recognised as a disability-confident employer. Our customers come from a variety of different backgrounds, and so do we. We hire great people from all walks of life, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. We will continue championing inclusivity while investing in our local communities to create a better, more sustainable world for everyone. We are incredibly proud to have been recognised by The Times for being one of the Top 50 Employers for Women.

We have tailored our well-being & benefits package around our employees as follows;

• Competitive salary and bonus potential
• Employee Energy Allowance at 15% of the government price cap
• Pension scheme
• Company Funded Healthcare Plan
• 25 days holiday allowance, plus public holidays, and the option to buy up to 5 additional days
• Excellent range of flexible benefits, including technology vouchers, electric car lease scheme & travel insurance

We are committed to creating a cleaner and greener future. And we’re making big changes to help us get there. That means cutting customers' emissions and our own to reach net zero. And because our people are the beating heart of our business, we will continue to champion inclusivity, develop future skills and invest in our local communities to create a better world for everyone. As part of our reforestation project with WeForest, for every new employee that joins our family, we plant trees in underprivileged areas in Tanzania to offer farming and wildlife economy opportunities for locals.
