This is more than a traditional administration role. You'll coordinate activity across multiple projects, acting as a key link between site teams, suppliers, management and Directors. From overseeing site holidays, wages and essential paperwork to managing purchase orders, negotiating supplier costs and keeping projects on track, you'll be someone who takes ownership and follows things through.

You'll build strong working relationships, but you'll also need the confidence to follow up when something hasn't been done, question things when they don't look right and have honest, constructive conversations when needed.

• Location: Belmont, Durham, DH1

• Christmas & New Year office closure
• Free onsite parking
• Health benefits
• Retail & lifestyle discounts
• Cycle-to-work scheme
• Generous pension & Death in Service
• Modern office facilities
• Company awards & team-building events
• Friendly, supportive working environment

Due to the location and hours, you'll need to be able to reliably travel to the Durham office

What You'll Be Doing

• Coordinating administration across multiple live projects
• Overseeing site holidays, wages and essential paperwork, ensuring information is accurate and submitted on time
• Following up with site teams when information is outstanding, incomplete or deadlines haven't been met
• Ensuring agreed processes are followed and addressing issues appropriately
• Building strong working relationships with site teams while ensuring commitments are followed through
• Liaising with suppliers and hire companies, including discussing and negotiating costs
• Raising purchase orders and coordinating deliveries
• Supporting budget tracking, expenses and project reporting
• Maintaining project files, HR records, databases and CRM systems
• Supporting site onboarding and safety inductions
• Maintaining plant, lifting equipment and servicing records
• Supporting project planning and progress tracking
• Working closely with management and Directors
• Using systems including Bio-Site, M-Site and Dalux

About You

We're looking for someone who can combine excellent organisation with confident, professional communication.

You’ll be:

• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
• Proactive and comfortable taking ownership
• Confident managing multiple priorities and deadlines
• An honest, straightforward and respectful communicator
• Comfortable following up with people when information or actions are outstanding
• Able to challenge appropriately while maintaining positive working relationships
• Commercially aware and comfortable discussing and negotiating supplier costs
• Calm and adaptable when priorities change
• Confident communicating with site teams, suppliers, management and Directors
• Comfortable using Microsoft Excel, Word and Teams
• A team player who takes pride in keeping things running smoothly

Previous experience within project coordination, project administration, construction, engineering, document control, hire, manufacturing, industrial operations or another project-led environment would be advantageous, although we're equally interested in relevant transferable experience.

The Culture

This is a friendly, straightforward and supportive environment where honesty and accountability are valued. You'll be expected to build strong relationships, while also being comfortable speaking up when something isn't right, following things through and ensuring processes and deadlines are respected.

If you're someone who prefers to address an issue, find a solution and move forward, you'll fit in well.
