Office Administrator

Office Administrator – 12 months FTC - Engineering

Would you like to play a key role in keeping a busy Engineering department running smoothly? Do you have a talent for organisation and clear, confident communication? Are you looking for a role where every day brings variety, responsibility and the chance to make a real impact?

Your Role

In this  12 month FTC Office Administrator position, you’ll be at the heart of the Engineering team, coordinating essential admin tasks, supporting managers, and ensuring information flows accurately across Engineering, Automation, Facilities, Operations and Group Stores. You’ll help maintain compliance, manage documentation, support contractor processes, and keep key systems such as SAP, Ariba and Dimensions up to date. Your work will directly support the smooth running of the site and the effectiveness of the wider Engineering function.

You’ll also take ownership of practical day‑to‑day responsibilities, including managing PPE and office consumables, arranging fleet vehicle servicing, supporting training coordination, and assisting with safety and audit documentation. This role suits someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, enjoys problem‑solving, and takes pride in delivering accurate, reliable administrative support that keeps the whole department moving.

What You'll Bring

As Office Administrator on this 12-month FTC you will bring strong computer skills, particularly across MS Office, along with confident communication abilities that support clear, professional interaction across multiple teams. You will be someone who can manage their own workload, stay organised in a fast‑paced environment, and maintain excellent attention to detail in every task you complete. Working with minimal supervision will come naturally to you, and you will be comfortable taking ownership of day‑to‑day responsibilities.

Experience with SAP and SharePoint would be preferred, and previous administration experience within an Engineering environment would be benefical.

As some duties involve coordinating fleet vehicle servicing and liaising with external providers, you must also hold a full UK driving licence.
