Information Coordinator

Location: HMP Hindley, Wigan Business Unit: Wates Construction Contract: Permanent

At Wates, we're delivering some of the UK's most important public sector construction projects. We're looking for an Information Coordinator to join our team at HMP Hindley, supporting the delivery of a major new-build development.

This is a great opportunity for someone with experience in document control, project administration or project coordination who is looking to develop their career within construction.

You don't need to be an information management or BIM expert. We're looking for someone who is organised, confident using digital systems and has a strong eye for detail, with the enthusiasm to learn and develop as part of an experienced project team.

The Role

As Information Coordinator, you'll help make sure project documentation and information is organised, accurate and available to the right people when they need it.

Working alongside our project, design and site teams, your responsibilities will include:

• Uploading, organising and maintaining project documents, drawings and records within our document management systems
• Helping to ensure the latest versions of drawings and documents are available to project teams
• Maintaining document registers and project records
• Distributing information to internal teams, consultants and supply chain partners
• Supporting the team with document and information requests
• Checking information for accuracy and ensuring agreed processes are followed
• Producing basic reports and helping to maintain accurate project records
• Supporting the wider project team with general information coordination and administration
• Developing your knowledge of digital construction, Common Data Environments and BIM processes with support from the wider team

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is organised, proactive and comfortable working with different people across a busy project.

You may already have experience as a Document Controller, Project Administrator, Technical Administrator, Project Coordinator or Information Coordinator, or you may be looking to take the next step into information management within construction.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Experience working with documents, records or project information
• Confidence using Microsoft Office and other digital systems
• The ability to manage multiple tasks and changing priorities
• Good communication skills and the confidence to work with different teams
• Previous experience within construction, engineering or a project environment would be beneficial
• Experience using a document management system or Common Data Environment would be advantageous, but isn't essential

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is keen to learn and develop as part of the Wates team.

Why Join Wates?

This is an opportunity to build your career while working on a significant construction project and learning from an experienced project team.

You'll benefit from:

• Exposure to a major public sector construction project
• Support from experienced construction and information management professionals
• Opportunities to develop your knowledge of digital construction and BIM

• A competitive salary and benefits package
