About

Project Administrator

Location: Somerset | Giga Factory data centre project site

£22.00 per hour | Full-time, long-term contract (2-3 years minimum)

Monday to Friday, site-based, with potential for one day a week from home following successful onboarding

A

major data centre development needs more than technical expertise to keep delivery on track. Accurate records, well-managed documentation and dependable coordination all matter - and this Project Administrator role puts you at the centre of that work.

We are seeking an experienced administrator to support the project at the new Giga Factory site in Somerset. With an anticipated contract duration of at least two to three years, this offers the chance to make a sustained contribution to a significant development, working closely with an established, supportive and collaborative project team.

The role

You'll provide day-to-day administrative support to project leadership and site teams, helping ensure information is accessible, actions are followed through and project processes run smoothly. The work will bring you into regular contact with operational and commercial colleagues, contractors and client representatives.

Your responsibilities will include:

Maintaining accurate project records, files, registers and databases.
Organising project documentation, supporting document control and tracking information through the relevant processes.
Preparing reports, meeting minutes, correspondence and presentations.
Coordinating meetings, booking facilities and managing diary requests where needed.
Assisting with onboarding, site inductions and workforce administration.
Monitoring shared inboxes, directing requests and following up outstanding actions.
Supporting commercial and operational teams with project administration.
Keeping administrative tasks accurate, organised and completed on time.

What you'll bring

• You'll have proven experience as an Administrator or Project Administrator, with the confidence to get established quickly and take ownership of a varied workload.
• Strong organisation, time management and attention to detail are essential, alongside good working knowledge of Outlook, Word, Excel and Teams.
• You'll be comfortable balancing competing requests, communicating clearly in writing and in person, and maintaining a professional approach when priorities change.
• This role will suit someone who works independently, takes a proactive approach and builds positive working relationships. Reliability and careful follow-through will be just as important as your ability to keep records in order.
• Experience in construction, engineering, infrastructure, manufacturing or data centre projects would be useful, but is not essential.
• Previous project-based or site-based administration experience, familiarity with document control processes and exposure to project administration systems would also be advantageous.

Contract and working arrangements

The rate is £22.00 per hour, working full-time, Monday to Friday. The role is based on site in Somerset, with the potential to work from home one day per week following successful onboarding.

The contract is anticipated to last at least two to three years, offering a substantial opportunity to support the delivery of this major project.
