I am currently working with a family owned, award winning construction contractor based in Lancaster with a longstanding presence across the North West of England who are looking to recruit a Commercial Administrator/Document controller for a period of up to 12 months on a temporary contract.
Your new role
I am seeking a well-organised and proactive Commercial Administrator/Document controller for a period of up to 12 months to support our commercial and project teams within a busy construction environment. This role is ideal for someone with a strong attention to detail, confidence working with financial systems, and experience supporting construction projects from an administrative perspective.
You will play a key part in invoice processing, supplier administration, document control, and general project support, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.
Key Responsibilities

  • Scan and upload barcoded purchase invoices to the in-house system.
  • Accurately cost code invoices, using order numbers as job numbers.
  • Match invoices with delivery notes and liaise with suppliers where documentation is missing.
  • Check purchase orders against invoice values or agreed supplier rate schedules.
  • Submit invoices to the relevant Quantity Surveyor (QS) for approval.
  • Set up new suppliers
  • Maintain and update agreed supplier price lists.
  • Raise and manage works orders.
  • Print and issue tenders and manage tender correspondence.
  • Compile Health & Safety files for new projects.
  • Maintain site asset registers (fire extinguishers, laptops, mobile phones, etc.).
  • Update project tracking spreadsheets, including end dates, manuals, uploads, and H&S documentation returns.
What you'll need to succeed

  • Previous experience in an administrative role within construction or a similar industry.
  • Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail.
  • Confident communicator, able to liaise with suppliers, subcontractors, and internal teams.
  • Competent with Microsoft Office, PDFs, and general document management.
  • Able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
What you'll get in return
You will get the opportunity to work within an extremely well-established business and will be covering maternity cover for up to 12 months. The role is full-time, 37.5 hours per week, and you will be based from their central Lancaster offices. The role will offer variety, and you will feel a strong sense of belonging to the team and business you are working for. The hourly rate is £18.97-£20.69 dependant on experience.
