Job description

Office Administrator - Maternity Cover (13-Month FTC)

Looking for a role where organisation, accuracy and consistency matter?

At Intelligent Data Collection, we provide traffic survey data that supports transport and infrastructure projects across the UK.

We're looking for an organised and reliable Office Administrator to join our Operations team, providing essential administrative support that helps keep our projects running smoothly.

This is a full-time, 13-month fixed-term position providing maternity cover. There may be an opportunity for the role to become permanent in the future, subject to business requirements and headcount approval.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working in a structured environment, following established processes and taking pride in producing accurate work. Much of the role involves routine administrative tasks that require consistency, attention to detail and a methodical approach.

If you're someone who likes ticking things off, spotting errors that others miss and keeping everything organised, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Processing and organising traffic survey data
• Downloading and securely storing project files
• Preparing SD cards and equipment for deployment
• Ordering office and project supplies
• Supporting purchase orders and routine finance administration
• Assisting with office facilities administration

Many of these tasks form part of regular daily and weekly routines, so you'll need to be comfortable working methodically while maintaining a high level of accuracy.

Who we're looking for

You'll be successful in this role if you:

• Enjoy working in a structured environment with established processes.
• Are happy carrying out routine and repetitive tasks to a consistently high standard.
• Have excellent organisational skills and strong attention to detail.
• Take pride in producing accurate work.
• Can manage your workload effectively and work independently.
• Are confident using Microsoft Office and willing to learn new systems.
• Have a positive attitude and enjoy supporting a busy operational team.

Previous administration experience is welcomed, but we're equally interested in candidates who can demonstrate excellent organisational skills, accuracy and the right attitude.

Candidates with proven office administration experience, particularly those who have supported office operations or facilities management, may be considered for the upper end of the advertised salary range.

What you'll get

• Salary of £25,000–£28,000, dependent on experience
• 20 days' annual leave
• Birthday leave (where your birthday falls on a working day)
• Attendance bonus scheme recognising excellent attendance
• Opportunity to earn up to two additional paid leave days through company-supported volunteering
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Technology purchase loan scheme
• Access to cashback offers and discounted gift vouchers through our employee benefits platform

Intelligent Data Collection delivers high-quality traffic survey and transport data to clients across the UK. We work with local authorities, consultants and contractors to provide accurate information that supports transport planning and infrastructure projects.

Intelligent Data Collection is an equal opportunities employer. We value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates, regardless of background or protected characteristic.
