Meet Andrea – Project Manager at MRC
‘Every day is different! I suppose a typical day in the office starts with sifting through and responding to all notifications. We have email, Teams, WhatsApp – it’s a case of managing the flurry of messages each morning
Once cleared I settle into managing the monthly rosters, that’s the current month and two in advance. It means juggling upcoming projects, absence, holiday and finding cover. It’s necessary to have plans B and C up your sleeve if A unexpectedly changes!
The bottom line is finding a local candidate in the right place at the right time, this can be tricky if a location is remote. Much of the role is managing relations, balancing client expectations and being mindful of our candidate’s capacity.
My role also covers the Recruitment Management System (RMS) and keeping it up to date so we can extract individuals for upcoming projects.
Often I’ll join the recruitment fairs and chat with new individuals interested in working with us. This also helps the recruitment side of the business: https://minimalrisk.co.uk/recruitment-services/ when clients ask us to source candidates for regular or routine positions.
I also manage the figures for accounts, staff holidays and days worked to ensure accurate payroll and client invoicing.’
Andrea’s favourite part of the job?
‘I love working with people. I’m absolutely a people person and working with others is the best part of my role here’
