Document Controller/Compliance Manager
Londinium Recruitment
THE REAL REASON PEOPLE STAY IN THIS JOB
Your predecessor isn't leaving because the work is tedious. They're relocating, but staying with the business. That tells you something: this job scales with you, not against you. You'll manage drawings, site registers, and portal updates across 8-15 live projects. The team is small enough that you'll actually know what you're building. The business does £12-15m turnover. You'll matter here.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
You'll own document control across a mixed portfolio; main contractors, subcontractors, facilities management. Site information flows through a cloud-based system. You update drawings. You maintain registers. You keep the portal accurate so 20 people downstream don't make costly mistakes. The role is broad by design: there's no hiding behind a narrow job spec. You'll touch compliance, logistics, and client relations. The office is open-plan and shared services (HR, payroll) sit near you, so blockers get unblocked fast.
WHY THIS MATTERS TO YOUR PAYCHECK AND YOUR LIFE
8-5pm in an office, no on-call nonsense. Which means you actually know what your week looks like. You get 28 days holiday plus bank holidays, rising to 33 days after service. Which means a genuine break twice a year, not the pretence of one. You'll have a pension. Which means at 65 you won't regret the years you spent here. The team spans late twenties to fifties, mixed gender, genuinely laid-back. Which means you won't spend eight hours managing personalities or performing. A few socials a year happen. Which means you belong somewhere, not just work somewhere.
THE HONEST BIT
The office sits on an industrial estate. There's no restaurant strip nearby, no coffee shops within walking distance but there is small row of shops within a 5 minute drive. That's why they built flexibility into the day and the holiday, the tradeoff is real, and they know it.
ABOUT THE BUSINESS
A mid-sized construction services firm managing multiple concurrent projects for main contractors and facility operators. They're stable, profitable, and hiring because someone's genuinely relocating, not because of burnout.
WHAT YOU NEED
Three years' hands-on document control or site compliance experience. Proficiency in cloud-based portals. A methodical approach to accuracy and version control.
