  • Arrange and support design reviews, Value Engineering sessions, and HEML assessments
  • Maintain document registers, upload project documents, and support Health & Safety file compilation
  • Assist in milestone tracking, training and scheduling, and wider engineering admin support

This role is ideal for someone who is self‑motivated, organised, and confident communicating with diverse teams.

🎯 About You

You'll thrive in this role if you have:

  • Experience in design coordination or engineering/construction environments
  • Strong IT skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, P6, SharePoint, Autodesk Construction Cloud, SAP - training available!)
  • The ability to work independently and hit deadlines
  • Excellent written and verbal communication
  • A full UK driving licence
  • A collaborative attitude and willingness to support multiple office locations
