  • Support stakeholder engagement through email and telephone communications.
  • Ensure project records are accurate, organised and easily accessible.
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues to support successful project delivery.

About You

We're looking for someone who enjoys administration, has excellent attention to detail and is confident communicating with customers and stakeholders in a professional manner. You'll be organised, proactive and comfortable managing multiple tasks in a fast-paced project environment.

Essential Skills & Experience

  • Previous experience in an administration, project support or customer service role.

  • Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

  • Confident using Microsoft Office, including Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Microsoft Teams.

  • Comfortable updating trackers, maintaining databases and managing electronic filing systems.

  • Able to work independently while following established processes and procedures.

What's on Offer

  • Opportunity to gain experience supporting a large-scale national technology deployment programme.

  • Collaborative and supportive project team.

  • One-stage interview process via Microsoft Teams.

If you're an organised Administrator, Project Administrator, Project Support Administrator, Project Coordinator or Customer Service Administrator looking for your next remote contract opportunity, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today through Morson Edge.
