• Provide administrative support during client meetings, including agendas, minutes, and document packs.
• Act as a first point of contact for client account queries relating to billing and documentation.
• Support the Commercial Team in maintaining professional, consistent communication with clients.

What you'll need:

• Strong organisational and time-management skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Good numeracy and financial administration skills.
• Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, Outlook) and construction/accounting software (e.g., COINS, Sage, or similar).
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills to liaise effectively with clients, site teams, and colleagues.
• Ability to work under pressure, prioritise workloads, and meet deadlines.
• Ideally have previous experience in an admin role within the construction industry.
• Familiarity with client billing, applications for payment, and retention processes.
• Understanding of CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) compliance is advantageous.
• Experience supporting a commercial team or quantity surveying function is desirable.
