About the Company
Randstad Sourceright, a leading provider of RPO & MSP Recruitment Services is currently recruiting for an Asset Delivery Administrator to work in the Defect Management Team for CPS, a Balfour Beatty partner business, which is responsible for operating and maintaining the M25 motorway network, including its associated trunk and slip roads, on behalf of National Highways.
The Role
You will be responsible for the collection, maintenance, and reporting of maintenance-related data, providing timely and accurate administrative support to the maintenance team, including assisting with the upkeep of the routine maintenance management system. Additionally, you will support a variety of operational and administrative tasks, such as procurement, and equipment ordering.

While this position requires strong fundamental administrative skills, it is designed to be an evolving role where you will actively develop into managing workflows and specialized systems.

Responsibilities
- Operational Support: Produce high-quality collateral, documentation, and work instructions for reactive maintenance teams. Provide weekly and monthly data reporting to inform operational performance.
- Data & Systems Management: Ensure routine maintenance information (for both day and night works) is accurately captured in our systems. Manage material, tool, and PPE stock ordering via the Supply Chain Procurement Team.
- Governance & Meeting Administration: Prepare agendas, take minutes, track follow-up actions, and build professional slide packs for Senior Leadership Team (SLT) meetings.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Act as a central point of contact for internal Asset Delivery Leads, Tech Leads, and Depot Managers, as well as external stakeholders like National Highways and framework contractors.
- Health & Safety Compliance: Adhere to the Zero Harm safety process at all times and promote Balfour Beatty values across all tasks.
Key Skills and experience required
- We’re looking for a can-do attitude, a proactive communication style, and a willingness to learn. This is not a regimental admin job—it is a fast-paced, ever-changing, and highly reactive environment.

- Communication & Personality: An outgoing, flexible "people person" who genuinely enjoys communicating and collaborating with a wide range of individuals.
