• Notifying staff of upcoming training, completing booking forms, and being the main contact for any issues on the day (e.g., absence, travel queries).
• Leading Health & Safety administration for the site, ensuring all statutory record-keeping obligations are met.
• Supporting financial processes, including journals, accruals, and collating capital timesheets.
• Organising meetings and briefings: booking rooms, sending invites, chasing responses, preparing handovers.
• Raising purchase orders as requested by managers and supporting field staff with procurement needs.
