About you

You're an organised, proactive self-starter with a background in recruitment coordination, HR administration or training delivery, project management or senior admininstration role, ideally in a customer-facing or operational business.

You bring 2–3 years of relevant experience, strong Microsoft Office skills (especially Word, Excel and PowerPoint), and confidence in liaising with a wide range of stakeholders.

You understand how training needs align with business goals and are comfortable managing projects like sourcing external training packages or devising simple communication plans.

While you may not have a degree, your hands-on HR or administrative experience, strong attention to detail, and ability to juggle competing priorities make you a valued team member.

Bonus if you've worked in a rail, engineering, or contractor-heavy environment before.
