Producing a report to see which documents are missing, you’ll work with the Project Manager to ensure we have all the relevant documentation ready.

Checking external Document Controllers are working to our standards you’ll check if colleagues have set things up properly and are following agreed procedures. You’ll ask questions such as, do their design drawings for needs like safety assessments, meet our standards?

Where required you will provide assistance to Project Managers to download drawings, check they’ve been submitted to the right people and that they have been stored correctly

You will also have access to a number of flexible benefits such as a share incentive plan, salary sacrifice car and technology schemes, support via employee assistance lines and matched charity giving to name a few.
