  • Ensure all administrative activities are completed in line with compliance and quality standards.
  • Manage your own workload and diary to meet deadlines and business requirements.

What We're Looking For

  • Previous administrative experience within a busy office environment.
  • Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.
  • Ability to work independently and prioritise competing workloads.
  • Experience working in a fast‑paced, high‑pressure environment.
  • Excellent organisational and time management skills.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with multiple departments.
  • Good problem‑solving skills and a proactive approach to work.

Essential Skills & Experience

  • Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Outlook.
  • Good Microsoft Excel skills.
  • Confident using Microsoft Office applications.
  • Ability to learn new systems quickly.
  • Excellent administrative and data‑handling skills.

Desirable Skills & Experience

  • Experience using SAP (particularly SAP CP1 or similar SAP systems).
  • Experience working within a compliance‑driven, regulated, or process‑focused environment.
  • What's on Offer
  • Opportunity to join one of the UK's leading electricity network operators.
  • Supportive team environment with full training provided.
  • Valuable experience within a highly regulated and professional organisation.
  • Potential for hybrid working following successful training and performance assessment.
  • Free on‑site parking available.

If you are a highly organised administrator with strong attention to detail and enjoy working in a fast‑paced environment, we'd love to hear from you.
