We Do What We Say and We Care

That’s why we need people like you to help us deliver on our promises. People who enjoy getting things done and who appreciate their role in helping others to be successful.

We have an opportunity for a Contract Administrator to join our team supporting our South West Water contract. Reporting to the Assistant Contract Support Manager, you'll provide essential administrative and operational support to help ensure the successful delivery of works across the contract.

This is a varied role where no two days are the same. Working closely with operational teams, planners, buyers and managers, you'll play an important part in keeping information accurate, supporting day-to-day activities and ensuring the team has everything they need to deliver for our client.

This could also be an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a career change who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and has strong organisational and communication skills.

Here are some of the activities you will be involved in…

• Providing day-to-day administrative support to the operational team.
• Managing and maintaining internal systems to ensure information is accurate and up to date.
• Raising purchase orders and supporting the Contract Buyer with procurement activities across the framework.
• Responding to queries, resolving issues where possible and escalating where appropriate.
• Supporting planning and coordination activities to help ensure works are delivered efficiently.
• Producing reports and maintaining accurate records within agreed timescales.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues, clients and suppliers to support the successful delivery of the contract.

You have previous administration, coordination or contract support experience and enjoy working in a busy environment where organisation and attention to detail are key.

You'll be confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, and be comfortable working with different systems to manage information accurately.

You'll have excellent communication skills and enjoy building positive working relationships with colleagues, clients and suppliers. You'll also be proactive, well organised and able to prioritise your workload while managing a variety of tasks.

Experience within utilities, construction or an operational environment would be beneficial but isn't essential. What matters most is that you're keen to learn, enjoy working as part of a team and take pride in delivering a high standard of support.
