About the Role

We're looking for an organised and proactive Contract Support Administrator to join our team at Harwell Campus in Didcot.

You'll play a key role in keeping our facilities management operations running smoothly, providing administrative and operational support to our Contract Managers, engineers, subcontractors and clients.

From coordinating maintenance schedules and managing service requests to maintaining compliance records and supporting day-to-day operations, you'll help ensure services are delivered efficiently and to a high standard.

This is a varied role, ideal for someone who enjoys working in a busy environment, has excellent attention to detail and takes pride in keeping everything organised and on track.

• Assist with quotations, purchase orders and cost tracking.
• Maintain accurate information within CAFM and job management systems, including closing completed jobs.
• Prepare regular reports, including helpdesk performance and service updates.

Coordinating Engineers and Contractors

• Log, schedule and monitor planned and reactive maintenance jobs.
• Coordinate workloads with engineers and subcontractors.
• Follow up on outstanding works, inspections and remedial actions.
• Ensure planned preventative maintenance (PPM) visits are scheduled on time.

Supporting Clients and Service Delivery

• Act as a key contact for client queries, providing professional and timely responses.
• Work closely with managers, engineers, procurement teams and subcontractors to resolve issues.
• Support the Contract Manager in meeting service level agreements (SLAs) and key performance indicators (KPIs).

Maintaining Compliance and Quality

• Organise and maintain compliance records, certificates and contractor documentation.
• Check that risk assessments, method statements (RAMS) and associated paperwork are complete.
• Help coordinate inspections and compliance activities.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes and service delivery.

What We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in candidates who have:

• Previous administration experience within facilities management, contract support, maintenance helpdesk or a similar environment.
• Experience coordinating engineers, contractors or service activities.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office and CAFM or job management systems.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Strong communication skills and a professional approach to dealing with clients and colleagues.
• High attention to detail and accuracy.
• A proactive, adaptable attitude and the confidence to work independently and as part of a team.
