Role Overview

Based onsite at our Ashford offices five days a week, you'll act as the central point of coordination between the client, contractors, and internal teams. A major emphasis of the role is building strong client relationships, influencing forward planning of labour requirements, ensuring processes are followed efficiently, and resolving issues quickly in a heavily health & safety-focused environment.

This role suits someone confident, proactive, and switched on - able to manage high volumes of work, use their initiative, and take ownership in a fast-paced operational setting.

Key Responsibilities Include

• Manage incoming labour requirements, ensuring requests are logged, processed, and actioned accurately
• Use client systems (PeopleSoft) and internal software to manage administration and workflow
• Support the full contractor lifecycle, including onboarding, compliance, inductions, assignment details, and health & safety requirements
• Manage contractor timesheets, pay queries, working hours, and contract extensions
• Build strong working relationships with the client and influence forward planning of requirements
• Ensure agreed processes are followed efficiently and consistently
• Resolve issues as they arise, escalating where necessary
• Maintain accurate records and documentation to ensure compliance and audit readiness
• Work closely with internal delivery teams to maintain service levels

Skills & Experience Required

• Strong administrative experience (essential) - this is a hands‑on, admin‑heavy role
• Experience in recruitment, workforce management, MSP, rail, or blue‑collar environments is desirable
• Rail industry knowledge or experience is advantageous but not essential
• Confident communicator, comfortable liaising with clients and challenging constructively when needed
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Self‑motivated, proactive, and able to use initiative
• Comfortable working at pace in a high‑volume, operational environment
• Strong awareness of compliance and health & safety expectations
