Commercial Administrator in Leicester

Are you organised, commercially minded and great at keeping things running smoothly? We're looking for a Commercial Administrator to provide key support to our Commercial DLO Team, helping keep our financial, document and contractor processes accurate, organised and on track. You'll work across a range of commercial activity, from processing invoices and supporting contractor payments to maintaining records, preparing reports and helping the team understand costs and performance. If you're someone who enjoys working with detail, solving problems and making sure things get done properly, we'd love to hear from you.

What’s in it for you…. In addition to the salary, we offer a number of benefits, including:

• High street discount schemes
• Health cash plans
• 26 days’ annual leave, increasing to 29 after three years, with the opportunity to buy more
• Flexible bank holidays – take them when it suits you
• Car leasing scheme
• Hybrid working – offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role. This is flexible and depends on meeting cycles and board activity.
• We also offer an optional nine-day fortnight scheme, allowing you to compress your hours if it suits the role.

What you’ll be doing…… You’ll play an important role in supporting the commercial and financial management of our DLO. You'll be:

• Processing approved subcontractor, materials and supplier invoices and liaising with Finance for payment
• Supporting valuations, contractor payment applications and variation processes
• Maintaining accurate supplier, job, materials and document records
• Checking Proof of Delivery information and ensuring records are up to date
• Preparing cost, management and performance reports, including forecasting and reconciliations
• Processing orders through P2P and MRI Maintain and keeping systems updated
• Supporting procurement activity and developing our supply chain
• Working with managers and key stakeholders to improve job costing, value for money and commercial understanding

What we’re looking for:

• Social housing experience – ideally with knowledge of repairs, DLO or commercial environments
• Strong administration and organisation skills – able to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines
• Good financial awareness – with an understanding of costs, recharges, invoices and value for money
• Excellent IT skills – particularly Microsoft Office and Excel; experience with MRI Maintain is desirable
• Strong communication skills – confident building relationships with colleagues, contractors and suppliers
• A proactive, detail-focused approach – someone who takes ownership, solves problems and gets things done

If specific qualifications are required, please upload them with your application to demonstrate your eligibility. At PA Housing, we believe in respect, integrity, and accountability. Our work is about people – not just properties – and we’re always looking for ways to do better. If that sounds like your kind of place, we’d love to hear from you.
