Document Controller | Engineering Projects & Asset Handover | Oxford (On-site)
BioTalent are partnered with a growing organisation in Oxford delivering complex engineering and facilities projects, alongside managing operational assets.
They are looking for a Document Controller who understands engineering environments, not just admin processes.
This role sits at the centre of project delivery, supporting everything from live builds through to handover and long-term asset documentation.
The Role
You will take ownership of engineering documentation across multiple projects and operational assets, ensuring everything from drawings to O&M manuals is accurate, controlled, and ready for handover. You’ll be working directly with engineers and contractors, dealing with real-world project pressure, incomplete information, and tight timelines.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
* Managing engineering drawings, technical documents, and revision control
* Owning document control processes across active projects
* Coordinating O&M manuals, as-built drawings, and handover packs
* Administering and improving the electronic Document Management System (DMS)
* Working closely with engineers, contractors, and facilities teams to chase and validate documentation
* Supporting project handover and asset documentation readiness
* Driving improvements in document workflows, structure, and standards
* Ensuring documentation is audit-ready and aligned to project requirements
What We’re Looking For
You’ve likely worked as a:
* Document Controller
* Engineering Document Controller
* Project Document Controller
Within:
* Engineering projects
* Construction / infrastructure
* Facilities or asset-heavy environments
More importantly:
* You understand O&M manuals, as-built drawings, and project handover requirements
* You’re used to working with engineers and contractors, not just internal teams
* You’re comfortable managing large volumes of technical documentation under pressure
* You’ve used DMS platforms and worked with CAD drawing control
This role suits someone who enjoys structure, but can also handle the reality of live engineering projects.
Why This Role
* Exposure to real engineering and facilities projects, not just admin workflows
* Central role in project delivery and handover
* Opportunity to improve and shape document control systems
* Stable, growing environment with ongoing project activity
