ECHO'S MISSION


Our mission is to empower our clients by delivering exceptional design and quality products through a seamless integration of innovation, technology, and meticulous attention to detail to create experiences that go beyond expectations.

We are committed to nurturing sustainable practices, prioritising the wellbeing of our planet, and maintaining an unwavering dedication to superior service.

With passion driving our purpose, we promise to transcend expectations, consistently and without compromise.


WE STAND FOR
An extraordinary culture of empowerment, respect, authenticity and collaboration and a business that exceeds all expectations.

A team that delivers beyond our leadership and who have an extraordinary life in and outside of the workplace.

Echo is acknowledged as the leader of sustainable design and creative production in the world.


Scope of the Role:

Collaborative. Positive. Respectful. Organised. Exceptional People Skills.

The role of the Procurement and Departmental Administrator is to support the Fabrication team with regards to its procurement.

This is a vital role in ensuring the relevant materials are sourced and delivered on time ready for use by the team, and in line with Echo's sustainability policies.


You will actively source, build and sustain relationships with new and existing suppliers who are passionate about sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint, whilst also keeping prices at a competitive rate by updating our suppliers price comparison data sheet.


The role will also work closely with the Finance Director on our carbon data research, data input and analysis and general sustainability work, so a good understanding and passion for sustainability would be an advantage.

At Echo, our workflow approach is a hybrid.

Dependent on the nature of the works, we combine the structured predictability of the Waterfall method with the flexible adaptability of Agile.

This necessitates that all our team members are comfortable and proficient in both approaches, ensuring seamless integration and adaptability according to project demands.


The nature of our industry is that working ad hoc additional hours, or out of normal working hours, can be expected as a normal function of this role.

Paid overtime, or time in lieu, is not provided for this.

The leadership team of Echo House remain committed to limiting the extent and potential impact of this, for all individuals at Echo.


Echo operates within the vibrant pulse of the design and production industry, one of the world's most challenging yet fulfilling creative sectors.

Our ethos centres around positivity, which underpins every interaction, be it team collaboration, client communication, or individual tasks.

As the dynamics of our work continually evolve, maintaining flexibility, responsiveness, and composure are essential to delivering efficient and effective results.
