External Description:

Project Administrator

Location: Sudbury

Contract duration: Initially 6 months

Working mode: Hybrid, 2-3 days per week in the office and rest WFH (successful candidates are expected to spend more time on-site in the beginning of the role)

Hours: Full-time, 37.5 hours per week 

Hourly rate: Competitive hourly rate 

We are looking for a proactive, self-motivated Project Administrator to join our Sudbury team to provide vital administrative support for key project initiatives. This is a fantastic opportunity to work within a supportive, 6-person team where your organisational skills will directly impact our manufacturing success.

The Hybrid Balance

• Onboarding: You’ll spend your first two weeks fully on-site to get to know the team and be paired with a dedicated "buddy" to help you learn the ropes.
• Flexibility: Once settled, enjoy a hybrid model with a minimum of 2 days per week on-site in Sudbury.
• Schedule: 37.5 hours per week (standard business hours, approx. 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM).

Your Impactful Responsibilities
You will be the "engine room" of our project documentation and supplier relations:

• Supplier Liaison: Take ownership of supplier communications—reaching out to contacts, coordinating responses, and maintaining up-to-date contact lists.
• Project Gatekeeper: Track the completion of project paperwork, including QMS (Quality Management System) and compliance documents.
• Critical Processing: Own the processing of CRBs for new vendors and new parts for the Sudbury site.
• Technical Support: Work closely with our Engineering function to document manufacturing work instructions in MS Word.
• Team Coordination: Schedule meetings, prepare agendas, record minutes, and assist with the onboarding of new team members.

What You Bring to the Team

• Experience: The ideal candidate has a proven background in an administrative role with strong IT literacy (MS Office, Excel). SAP experience is a significant advantage. We are also happy to consider graduates with strong Excel and communication skills.
• Communication: Ability to articulate clearly in both written and verbal formats to a variety of internal and external stakeholders.
• Mindset: Self-motivated and adaptable; you can manage your time effectively and possess a genuine desire to succeed.
• Tenacity: You’re comfortable picking up the phone to chase stakeholders and issue reminders to ensure project actions are met.

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• Competitive Pay
• Well-being First: Enjoy on-site massages, physiotherapy, well-being rooms, and free fruit.
• Great Culture: Join a team that values social connection through quiz nights and regular activities.

Logistics: Free on-site parking at our Sudbury facility.

We are committed to providing equal employment opportunities and encourage all qualified candidates to apply. While the hiring process may not be expedited, we urge all interested candidates to submit their applications promptly to ensure their consideration.
