Job Description
This fulltime, site-based role brings together traditional site administration with public facing communication responsibilities, including customer updates, website notices and Traffic Management (TM) information. In addition to core administrative duties, you will play a key part in supporting project communications by responding to customer enquiries, preparing website content, issuing TM change notifications and helping to deliver clear public information such as road closure updates.
To succeed in this role, you must be able to organise your workload effectively, maintain accurate and efficient information management systems, and work in a clear and logical manner while following established processes and procedures. You must be confident working to deadlines without compromising on quality using your own initiative while collaborating as part of a wider team.
You should also demonstrate enthusiasm for learning new skills, supporting colleagues, and building strong relationships with people at all levels. Strong communication skills are essential — including the confidence to ask questions, seek clarification and ensure all information shared internally and externally is accurate and up to date.
This is a fulltime role, with responsibilities split approximately 70/30 between administrative duties and communications/TM support. It is well suited to someone who enjoys variety in their day-to-day work and can switch effectively between detailed admin tasks and broader stakeholder and public engagement activities.
