Salary: £28,000 – £35,000 per annum
Working pattern: Full-time, office-based

An exciting opportunity to join a leading main contractor

We’re working with a well-established main contractor delivering construction projects valued up to £50 million, who are looking to appoint an organised and proactive Construction Administrator to support their growing team.

Initially based at the company’s Ipswich office, this role offers the opportunity to transition to a new Chelmsford office once it opens. For candidates based in Colchester or the surrounding areas, this presents an excellent opportunity to join a reputable business with a long-term future in the region.

The Role

As Construction Administrator, you’ll play an important part in supporting the smooth day-to-day running of the office and assisting the wider team with administrative duties.

Responsibilities will include:

• Providing general administrative support to the office and wider project teams.

• Maintaining accurate records, documents and filing systems.

• Assisting with the preparation and management of project documentation.

• Handling incoming calls, emails and correspondence professionally.

• Supporting the organisation of meetings, appointments and general office activities.

• Liaising with colleagues, subcontractors and other stakeholders as required.

• Ensuring administrative processes are completed accurately and efficiently.

About You

We’re keen to hear from organised, reliable and enthusiastic individuals who are looking to develop their career within a construction environment.

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience in an administrative or office support role, ideally in construction.

• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.

• Good written and verbal communication skills.

• Confidence using Microsoft Office and general IT systems.

• A proactive approach and the ability to manage multiple tasks.

• A willingness to learn and develop within a busy construction business.

Experience within the construction industry would be highly advantageous, particularly for candidates seeking a salary towards the upper end of the advertised range. However, we’re also open to considering candidates with solid general administration experience who demonstrate the right attitude, aptitude and potential.

What’s on Offer?

• Salary of £28,000 – £35,000, depending on experience.

• Full-time, office-based position.

• The opportunity to join an established main contractor delivering projects up to £50 million.

• A future move to a new Chelmsford office as the business continues to grow.

• The chance to develop your skills and build a long-term career within the construction industry.
