Job description

Graduate Site Administrator

Your first step into construction and project delivery.

Looking for your first graduate opportunity, but not interested in spending every day doing the same thing in an office?

Our Graduate Site Administrator role gives you the opportunity to become part of the team behind live construction projects, working alongside Project Managers, site teams, engineers and different departments across the business.

You'll help keep projects organised, information accurate and our sites running smoothly.

Most importantly, this is a beginning-of-career opportunity. You don’t need years of construction experience. We’re looking for someone organised, switched-on and keen to learn.

What will you actually be doing?

No two projects are exactly the same, but you'll get involved in areas including:

• Helping prepare daily and weekly project progress reports
• Keeping project trackers and information up to date
• Supporting timesheets, project costing, purchase orders and material requests
• Helping check and process payment information
• Organising project files and preparing documents
• Maintaining training records, competencies and certificates for site personnel
• Supporting health & safety administration, supplies and site signage
• Working with different departments to organise access to sites
• Communicating with subcontractors, supervisors and project teams
• Helping make sure our site teams have the information they need to get the job done

You'll work with people across the businessas well as external clients, engineers and contractors, giving you great exposure to how a construction business actually operates.

Who are we looking for?

This could suit you if you've graduated in Business, Construction Management, Project Management, Engineering,or another relevant subject and want an opportunity to start building your career.

We're particularly interested in people who:

• Are confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel
• Are comfortable working with information and data
• Have great attention to detail
• Are organised and like keeping things on track
• Communicate confidently with different people
• Have good general IT skills
• Have a positive attitude and strong work ethic
• Are willing to learn and get stuck in
• Have a full driving licence and access to their own transport

Construction experience or a technical qualification would be useful, but for the right graduate,attitude and potential matter too. Site qualifications such as a CSCS card can be arranged where required.

A role you can build from

This isn't just about administration.

You'll be close to the day-to-day delivery of projects and gain experience of project management, commercial processes, health & safety, site operations and construction.

For someone at the beginning of their career, that means plenty of opportunities to learn, understand where your strengths lie and start building your future in the industry.

If you're organised, ambitious and looking for somewhere to start your career, we'd love to hear from you.
