The Candidate:

Based at our Head Office in Smallfield (own transport preferred), this is a full-time, office-based role (37.5 hours per week, Monday to Friday). We're looking for a highly organised and proactive Training Coordinator, to take ownership of the day-to-day management of our company-wide training programme.

This role would suit someone with excellent organisational skills who enjoys coordinating multiple priorities, building relationships and making processes run efficiently. Whilst previous construction training experience is advantageous, we're equally interested in candidates with strong administration and coordination experience who are keen to learn as full training will be given.

This role would suit candidates with experience as a Training Administrator, Learning & Development Administrator, HR Administrator or Training Coordinator looking to take ownership of a standalone training function.
