• Manage site supplies, IT equipment, document printing and courier bookings.
• Oversee MSITE access, site inductions, and health & safety records.
• Organise meeting rooms, refreshments, and ensure PPE is available and in good condition.
• Attend meetings, take minutes, and distribute action points.
• Support the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) process and evidence submission.

Project Closeout

• Compile and finalise Health & Safety and Operation & Maintenance manuals.
• Update the incident register and ensure all documentation is archived appropriately.
• Support the site shut-down and exit procedures.

• Familiarity with PAS1192/ISO19650 naming standards.
• Previous use of cloud-based document management tools such as Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC).

• 2 paid volunteering days per year.
• Training and development opportunities.
• Cycle to work scheme and nationwide gym discounts.
