Are you an organised, proactive administrator who thrives in a fast-paced environment? We're looking for an exceptional Administrator to become an integral part of our Built Estate Central Team at RAF Waddington. This is far more than a traditional administration role—it's an opportunity to make a real impact by supporting the delivery of essential services across one of the UK's most important defence sites.

If you're someone who enjoys problem-solving, takes pride in keeping things running smoothly and enjoys working with a variety of people, we'd love to hear from you.

Your day could involve managing and allocating maintenance tasks through Maximo, monitoring performance reports, raising purchase orders, updating records and maintaining accurate electronic filing systems. You'll also support management by organising meetings, booking facilities, taking professional minutes and maintaining action logs, while ensuring important documentation is always accurate and up to date.

The role also includes supporting the Helpdesk with customer enquiries, assisting with the resolution of customer issues, processing BPSS paperwork for employees and contractors, coordinating visitor access and inductions, managing meeting room bookings and helping to keep pool vehicle records, servicing schedules and compliance documentation current.

You’ll play an important part in maintaining Health & Safety communications, ensuring noticeboards and safety alerts remain up to date, managing visitor records in line with GDPR requirements and supporting the wider team with a variety of administrative tasks that contribute to the smooth running of the contract.

About You

You’ll be highly organised, motivated and able to manage a varied workload while maintaining exceptional attention to detail. You enjoy working in a busy environment where priorities can change and are confident communicating with colleagues, customers and contractors at all levels.

You’ll have strong administrative skills and be comfortable using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, with the willingness to learn systems such as Maximo and other bespoke business applications. Most importantly, you’ll be proactive, dependable and committed to delivering excellent customer service while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy, confidentiality and compliance.

You will need to be able to pass BPSS Clearance to be eligible for this role.
