Description:

As a result, they are now drowning in data and admin and really could do with some support.

They are looking for a super organised admin/project coordinator based in their Rochester offices - someone who will be able to hit the ground running and introduce solutions.

This is the first admin/support role in this site and so my client can see this person becoming a go-to with general office admin processes etc. It really is a role that a good coordinator can come in and quickly make their mark and a positive contribution.

The ideal candidate will be someone who has previously worked in a construction-based industry - This would be a great advantage.

About Us:

My client plays a key role in the rail industry, providing a whole manner of off-track

solutions, and minor civils works, in partnership with Network Rail and other major

create a cost-effective and practical solution.
