Construction Project Adminstrator in Kent, Maidstone

Fixed-Term Contract 12 Months

Keep our construction teams connected, organised and moving forward.

We're looking for an organised, proactive Construction Administrator to join Dandara on a 12-month fixed-term contract, covering maternity leave. Sitting at the heart of our regional Construction team, this is much more than a general administration role. You'll help ensure the information, reporting and documentation our teams rely on is accurate, up to date and delivered on time.

Working closely with the Construction Director, Contracts Managers and Site Management teams, you'll have exposure to projects across the region and play an important part in keeping everything from construction programmes and NHBC reporting to handover documentation and training records on track.

Keeping our construction reporting on track:

• You'll help maintain the information that allows our Construction team to understand progress across our developments.
• Maintaining construction information within COINS, including weekly progress, programme dates and forecasts.
• Preparing regular programme, CML, EU, Non-Mover and Build Risk reports.
• Collating information for weekly Construction management meetings.
• Monitoring reporting deadlines and following up outstanding information and actions.

Supporting quality, NHBC and Health & Safety:

• You'll provide important administrative support across our quality and compliance activities, including:
• Preparing and maintaining regular NHBC performance reports.
• Supporting the administration of NHBC and Premier Guarantee portals.
• Maintaining regional Quality and Health & Safety trackers.
• Issuing Quality and H&S Alerts and coordinating close-out actions.
• Helping collate and complete development Health & Safety Files.

Helping projects through to handover:

• As our developments progress towards completion, you'll help make sure the necessary records and documentation are in place.
• You'll maintain handover and commissioning certification trackers, support the preparation of O&M Manuals and client handover documentation, and work with site teams to obtain outstanding certificates and information.
• You'll become a central point of support for our regional Construction team, helping coordinate meetings, information and communication.
• Coordinating Project Team Meetings and other recurring Construction meetings.
• Maintaining the regional Construction Training Matrix.
• Supporting training administration.
• Assisting with development newsletters and Construction communications.
• Providing day-to-day administrative support to the Construction Director, Contracts Managers and Site Management teams.

You don't necessarily need to be a construction expert. Previous administration experience, ideally within construction, housebuilding or a similar environment.

Good Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel, Word, Outlook and PowerPoint.

This is an opportunity to become an integral part of a busy Construction team and gain broad exposure to how our developments are managed from programme and reporting through to quality, compliance and final handover.

Although this is a 12-month maternity cover position, you'll be joining us in a role where you can make an immediate contribution, build strong relationships across our regional teams and gain valuable experience within one of the UK's leading independent housebuilders.
