As a Billable Works Administrator, you will provide essential administrative support to ensure compliance with government regulations and health and safety policies. Your responsibilities will include preparing reports, tracking business performance using systems such as MS Excel and Maximo, and facilitating key meetings by organizing facilities, recording minutes, and maintaining action logs. Maintaining accurate filing systems and supporting quality assurance, health and safety, and sustainability initiatives will also be a key aspect of your role.
You will play an integral part in compiling and sharing data on completed billable works, ensuring that our stakeholders are well-informed and our operations run efficiently.
This role also involves a strong customer and people focus.

Working collaboratively as part of a team and influencing those around you to ensure compliance with key performance indicators will also be important.
While not essential, experience within the construction, property maintenance, or MOD environment would be beneficial, as would familiarity with legal requirements related to construction activities and experience using bespoke IT systems such as Maximo.
In terms of qualifications, a minimum NVQ Level 2 in Administration or equivalent experience is highly desirable, along with a full UK driving license. Additional certifications such as an accredited Office Health & Safety qualification or training in MS Office packages would be advantageous.
We are looking for someone who leads by example, demonstrates a positive attitude, and motivates those around them through clear communication and personal drive.
