- Helping increase brand awareness and promote our projects to new audiences.
- Drafting professional emails and assisting with customer communications.
- Responding to social media messages and email enquiries.

- Working closely with the Managing Director to help grow the business.
What we're looking for
- Experience in marketing, communications, business development or a similar role.
- Excellent written communication skills.
- Confidence using LinkedIn and social media platforms professionally.
- A creative mindset and the ability to generate new ideas.
- Good organisational skills and the ability to manage your own workload.
