If you’re an Administrator perhaps with 12 months administration experience looking to focus and specialise in a specific area of administration – this is ideal.

Maybe you want to be a master of one area of administration, and have an interest in becoming elite at that – perfect.  

This is an Administrator role to support on client projects within the Construction field. You’ll work within a close-knit team and be the Administrator on multiple projects running at once so it’s still giving you variety, exposure and developing your skills but it’s also allowing you to focus in one area.

This could really set you up for a career in either projects or senior administration/ PA support… the perfect starting point to build your career.

They don’t need the finished article, they don’t need someone with a background in projects, they will teach you everything you need to know – they just want someone who has the fundamentals within administration and is eager to learn and grow.

The office is super relaxed and full of banter, but one thing that stood out is the support. Everyone helps everyone. Nobody gets left behind. Directors are mucking in when it’s busy, the brew rounds being done by the MD, it’s open plan and everyone just loves being in and bouncing off each other.

An incredible place to work and a genuine opportunity for someone early on in their career that wants to really step it up a notch and build something fantastic.

All applications to Erin at Platinum.
