Executive Support Coordinator - Balfour Beatty (@one Alliance)
Location: Peterborough
Hybrid working available, with a minimum of 3 days per fortnight working from our Peterborough office.
Balfour Beatty plays a key role as part of the Anglian Water's @one Alliance. The Alliance is a ground-breaking collaboration between Anglian Water and eight industry-leading partners: Balfour Beatty, Barhale, Binnies, MMB, MWH Treatment, Skanska, and SWECO. Together, we deliver around 40% of Anglian Water’s capital investment programme.
As we progress through AMP8 – our most ambitious asset management period to date – we’re delivering nature-based and sustainable infrastructure, from wetlands to urban drainage schemes, setting new benchmarks for environmental performance.
We're looking for a highly organised, proactive, and confident Executive Support Coordinator to join our team and provide exceptional support to our Executive Leadership Team (ELT). This is more than a traditional executive support role.

What you'll be doing
As Executive Support Coordinator, you'll be a trusted partner to our Executive Leadership Team, ensuring their time, priorities, and communications are managed effectively. You'll play a key role in supporting strategic initiatives, driving engagement across the Alliance, and helping leadership teams operate at their best.
Your Responsibilities Will Include
- Managing complex diaries, calendars, and meeting schedules for senior leaders
- Preparing presentations, reports, briefing packs, and governance documentation
- Coordinating leadership meetings, workshops, away days, and stakeholder events
- Capturing actions, producing meeting notes, and ensuring accountability for follow-up activities
- Supporting internal communications and engagement initiatives across the Alliance
- Maintaining confidential leadership information with discretion and professionalism
- Coordinating travel, accommodation, and event arrangements
- Supporting governance processes and senior leadership forums
- Updating SharePoint, intranet content, and distribution lists
- Working closely with colleagues across the Alliance to ensure a seamless support service
- Identifying opportunities to improve administrative processes and introduce smarter ways of working
