We have a great opportunity for a Project Administrator to join our development The Ard, located in Glasgow, for a fixed term contract until July 2027.
Set to be the tallest residential building in Scotland, at 36 storeys, providing views of the surrounding cityscape, construction will involve partial retention of the old HMRC building on India Street. Upon completion, the scheme will create ensuite rooms and studios, helping to meet the increasing rental housing demands of Glasgow's universities.
As a Project Administrator you will be responsible for providing administrative support to the Construction Directors, Project Managers and Site Managers to ensure that all interactions both internal and external are positive and productive. Based on site, the role includes a variety of activities including administrative duties, general site appearance maintenance, visitor organisation and communications. The post holder will be responsible for maintaining accurate administrative records so that information is easily accessible to people who need access to it, creating and maintaining the subcontractor directory, attending site meetings, and taking accurate minutes as required and assisting with the management of stationary supplies on site.
About you
Due to the size of this development, we'll need you to have previous administrator experience. This opportunity would suit someone who has previous administrative experience and enjoys a hands-on role where every day is different. This role requires a range of skills and strengths from, time-management, administration and record keeping to people-focussed skills such as customer service, communication and relationship building. Excellent communication skills are a must for this role as you'll be liaising with many people both externally and internally. Candidates who are familiar with document control systems are preferred.
