Key Responsibilities

• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of construction health & safety legislation, client requirements and best practice.

• Keep training and certification logs up to date; proactively organise refreshers and renewals.
• Manage safe disposal of materials and maintain environmental consignment documentation.
• Undertake ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environmental) internal audits – gathering evidence, updating logs, and tracking actions.
• Attend quarterly ISO Management Meetings, taking minutes, maintaining action logs, and circulating updates to relevant stakeholders.
• Contribute to sustainability initiatives by identifying opportunities to reduce waste and improve energy efficiency.

• Manage timely renewal of all company accreditations such as CHAS, SafeContractor, and Constructionline.
• Co-ordinate supplier and subcontractor compliance, ensuring insurance, certification, and RAMS are received, checked, and filed.
• Prepare PQQs, client questionnaires, and compliance documentation for tenders.
• Manage the external audit process for ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, ensuring records, evidence, and action plans are ready and deadlines are met.

• Provide flexible support across the office team, assisting with bookings, office supplies & internal communications.
• Help collate site photographs, project documentation, and marketing materials.
• Undertake annual insurance renewal and deal with any in year claims.
• Administer quarterly stocktakes, ensuring our materials are in good condition and within date.
• Support colleagues during busy project periods — this is a varied, team-based role where adaptability and initiative are valued.

• Excellent organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Clear, confident written communication for preparing professional documentation.
• Comfortable independently researching and interpreting requirements to find practical compliance solutions.
• Proficient in Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint, Word, Excel).
• Positive attitude, proactive approach, and willingness to assist wherever needed.
• Keen interest in learning about construction, health & safety, and quality management systems.

• First rate digital skills, using a variety of software platforms & adopting these independently with confidence.
• Previous administration experience, within construction or another regulated industry.
• Good understanding of health & safety or compliance.
• NEBOSH or IOSH qualification (advantageous — training and funding support available).

• A friendly, family-run business with strong values and a commitment to professional growth.
