Within the Construction environment, think about buying materials, managing big projects, ensuring health and safety and customer service. At any given time, you’ll find us working on some circa 400 developments in both towns and rural areas across the UK, and every one poses unique challenges. Some are from scratch on brownfield sites; others see us adapting existing buildings, like old factories or disused hospitals.

We need people who can bring us fresh ideas and imagination on one hand, and the commercial ability to manage people, budgets and costs on the other. It is testament to the professionalism of our construction teams that for an unprecedented thirteenth year, Site Managers have won more NHBC Pride in the Job Awards than any other housebuilder.

- Monitor costs incurred by the Department or Divisional Office.
- Perform general office administration tasks as and when required to meet the needs of the department - e.g. faxing, filing, photocopying, dealing with telephone calls.
- Provide other appropriate ad hoc duties, and administrative support for other departments, as and when required.

**What you'll need?**:
To be successful you will have:

- Experience of working in a secretarial/admin role.
- Experienced audio typist, with intermediate to advanced level of proficiency with MS Office programs and a good standard of written English. Ability to generate professional correspondence unaided.

It’s because we combine the brightest minds, the latest technology, and a genuine commitment to putting customers first.
