The Opportunity
Our sites play a vital role in supporting the construction industry, and behind every successful operation is a well-organised team ensuring that the day-to-day running of the site is efficient, compliant and well supported.
We are now looking for an Office Administrator to join our team and work closely with the Quarry Manager, supporting the administration and coordination of the quarry office and wider site operation.
This is a varied and hands-on role that will see you taking responsibility for a wide range of administrative, purchasing, compliance and site-support activities.
You will be a key point of contact for the site office, ensuring that essential records, processes and documentation are kept accurate and up to date. You will work closely with the Quarry Manager and site teams, helping to ensure the smooth and efficient day-to-day running of the operation.
Provide effective administrative support to the Quarry Manager and site team.
Use Microsoft Word, Excel and internal systems to maintain accurate records and information.
Raise and receipt purchase orders.
Manage and resolve invoice queries, working with relevant internal teams and suppliers.

The ideal candidate will have:
Previous experience in an administrative, office or site-support role.
Strong computer skills, particularly in Microsoft Word and Excel.
Excellent organisational and time-management skills.
Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
The ability to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines.
Good communication skills and the confidence to work with colleagues, suppliers and contractors.
A proactive approach and the ability to work independently.
Experience of working in a quarry, manufacturing, construction or other operational environment would be advantageous, but is not essential.
