Job description

Role Overview

We are looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Project Support Administrator to join our Pre-Construction team. This is a junior-level role ideal for someone with strong administrative skills and an interest in the construction or technical project space. You’ll play a key role in supporting the transition of projects from sales to delivery, managing document flow, coordinating meetings and checklists, and assisting with project setup and reporting.

This is not a design or architectural role — but it would suit someone who enjoys working in a technical environment, with opportunities to learn and grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the pre-construction team with the administration of project handovers
• Organise and maintain documentation such as technical submissions, quality plans, and procurement trackers
• Coordinate project files and approvals with internal stakeholders (Sales, Technical, Procurement, Delivery teams)
• Attend handover meetings, take minutes, and follow up on action items
• Help manage key documents such as drawings, programmes, schedules, and compliance files
• Track submission deadlines and ensure timely responses to client and internal requirements
• Assist in preparing reports and client documentation packs
• Maintain document version control and filing systems

Skills & Experience:

• 1–2 years’ experience in an administrative, document control, or project support role
• Exposure to construction, architecture, design, or engineering sectors is a plus (but not required)
• Highly organised with great attention to detail
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable working with Microsoft Office (Excel, Outlook, Word) and file management systems
• Eagerness to learn and grow in a project-based technical team

What We Offer

• Full training and support to grow your career in project coordination
• Work closely with experienced technical and delivery professionals
• Clear progression pathway into technical support or project roles
• A fast-paced, collaborative environment on high-profile London projects
• Office-based role with a close-knit, supportive team

If you’re eager to build a rewarding career in construction support and thrive in a role where your organisation and coordination make a real impact — we’d love to hear from you.
