Recruitment Co-Ordinator in Peterborough

About The Role

Location: Peterborough | Hybrid (2-3 days a week in office)

Balfour Beatty plays a key role as part of Anglian Water’s one Alliance. The Alliance is a ground‑breaking collaboration between Anglian Water and eight industry‑leading partners: Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska and SWECO. Together we deliver around 40% of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme.

Entering AMP 8, our most ambitious Asset Management Period yet, we’re taking on nature‑based, sustainable solutions like wetlands and urban drainage schemes. We’re setting global benchmarks in environmental infrastructure and empowering our people with exceptional career growth opportunities.

As a Recruitment Coordinator you’ll play a meaningful role in delivering a high‑quality, candidate‑focused recruitment experience. Acting as a key point of contact across partner organisations, you’ll bring efficiency and consistency to our end‑to‑end process. You’ll gain hands‑on exposure to in‑house recruitment in a dynamic, fast‑paced alliance environment—and as you grow, there’s real scope to broaden your remit beyond core administration into wider recruitment activity.

What you’ll be doing:

• Interview scheduling: Coordinate high volumes of interviews by liaising with partner organisations, candidates and hiring managers to ensure a smooth, timely process.
• Team support: Work closely with Recruitment Advisors to raise requisitions, draft job adverts, engage with hiring managers and arrange meetings—always aiming to deliver the best possible service.
• Continuous improvement: Spot opportunities to streamline how we work, propose solutions and help implement changes that improve our processes.
• Customer service: Keep candidate and hiring manager experience at the forefront of everything you do, with clear communication and proactive follow‑up.
• Enhanced admin support: Update systems, process contract administration and support reports/analysis that add value—while remaining fully GDPR compliant.

Who we’re looking for:

• Proven ability to manage and schedule a high volume of interviews or meetings.
• Strong administrative skills with confidence using MS Office and recruitment or business platforms/ATS.
• A sharp eye for detail and the ability to maintain accuracy under pressure.
• Experience within an agency or in‑house recruitment team (advantageous, not essential).
• A genuine customer focus and the enthusiasm to support an efficient, high‑quality recruitment service.
