Looking to move beyond Construction Administration?

Are you currently working as a Construction Administrator, Site Administrator, Project Administrator, Technical Administrator or Office Administrator and feel you've hit a ceiling in a traditional admin role?

This is an excellent opportunity to step into a Junior Document Controller position with a well-established construction contractor and begin a long-term career in Document Control.

The role sits within the company's Design Management team, making it ideal for someone who wants to move away from purely administrative duties and gain valuable technical experience managing drawings, construction documentation and project information.

You do not need previous Document Controller experience. Full training will be provided. What matters is strong administration experience within construction, excellent attention to detail and a desire to progress into a specialist construction support role.

Working alongside experienced Design Managers and project teams, you'll develop the skills, knowledge and systems experience required to build a successful career in Document Control.

The Role

As a Junior Document Controller, you will support the management, control and distribution of project documentation across multiple construction projects, ensuring information is accurate, up to date and readily available to project teams.

You will work closely with Design Managers, Site Teams, Commercial Teams, Subcontractors, Consultants and Clients, helping maintain document control procedures and ensuring project information is managed efficiently throughout the project lifecycle.

This position offers the ideal bridge between Construction Administration and Document Control, providing clear progression and structured development within the Design Management function.
