The role
Good document control is one of those things that people rarely notice when it’s working well, but everyone notices when it isn’t.
We’re looking for a Document Controller Assistant to support our team with the organisation, control and management of project documentation.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to develop a career in document control. You might already have some experience in administration, project support, records management or working with documents, but you don’t need to be an experienced Document Controller.
What matters most is that you’re organised, comfortable working with detail, willing to learn and take pride in getting things right.
You will
Working as part of the wider project team, you'll help make sure documents and information are accurately recorded, organised, maintained and available to the people who need them.
- Support the organisation and management of project documentation using SharePoint and other document management systems.
- Register, classify, scan, digitise and archive documentation, making sure information is accurately recorded and easy to locate.
- Maintain up-to-date document versions and help keep both electronic and physical filing systems organised.
- Support the review, issue and distribution of documents, working with colleagues to ensure information reaches the right people.
- Provide general administrative support around document management and communicate with colleagues in English when required.
You have
We're not looking for someone who knows everything about document control already. We're much more interested in finding someone with the right foundations and the appetite to learn.
- A minimum C1 level of English, both written and spoken.
- Basic working knowledge of Microsoft Office.
- Strong organisational skills and a methodical approach to your work.
- Good attention to detail and the ability to work accurately with documents and information.
- A positive attitude, willingness to learn and interest in developing your skills.
Previous experience or training in document management, administration or renewable energy projects would be useful, but isn't essential.
