We are looking for an organised and motivated individual to provide technical and administrative support to our Construction Health & Safety Team.

You will support the delivery of Principal Designer (CDM/BR), CDM Advisory, Building Safety Act and wider construction health and safety services across a variety of projects.

This is a great opportunity to develop a career within construction health and safety, CDM and building safety compliance.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the preparation of Principal Designer and CDM project documentation, including Pre-Construction Information and Health & Safety Files.
• Maintain project information, risk registers, trackers and records.
• Coordinate project reports, deliverables and technical document control.
• Liaise with clients, designers, contractors and project teams to obtain information.
• Set up projects, monitor deadlines and support programme management.
• Arrange meetings, prepare agendas and issue minutes.
• Assist with quality assurance, internal audits and compliance monitoring.
• Maintain competency records, training trackers and team procedures.
• Support fee proposals, tender submissions and client presentations.

About You

Essential:

• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Word and Excel.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and competing priorities.
• Comfortable working independently and as part of a team.

Desirable:

• Experience in construction, engineering, health and safety or the built environment.
• Knowledge of CDM 2015 and/or the Building Safety Act 2022.
• Experience using document control systems.
• A construction-related qualification or willingness to undertake further training.

Training and Development

Full training and mentoring will be provided, with opportunities to develop knowledge and experience in:

• CDM 2015 and Principal Designer duties.
• Building Safety Act 2022 requirements.
• Construction health and safety compliance.
• Health & Safety File preparation and design risk management.

Who Would Suit This Role?

This opportunity would suit either a graduate in construction, architecture, surveying or engineering, or an experienced project administrator/document controller looking to develop a more technical career within the construction sector.

Ideally, you will have around two years' experience in construction administration or document control, although this is not essential for the right candidate.
