The Role

As a Junior Document Controller / Office Administrator, you’ll support our engineering and business support teams by helping to manage company documentation and provide general administrative assistance.

Working alongside the Office Manager and experienced colleagues, you’ll learn how to control technical documents, maintain accurate records and ensure information is issued correctly and on time. You’ll also assist with a variety of office administration tasks that help keep the business running smoothly.

• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Confidence using Microsoft Office, particularly Word and Outlook (Excel experience would be beneficial).
• A positive attitude and willingness to learn new systems and processes.
• The ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
