In a nutshell

At Hopkins, we're committed to delivering exceptional customer service and sustainable building services solutions. As we continue to grow across the South of England, with hubs in Hampshire, East Sussex, and the Thames Valley, we're looking for talented people to join our expanding team.

We're currently seeking an Operations Coordinator to support multiple Project Managers across a portfolio of live projects throughout the South Coast. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a progressive, people-focused business where you'll play a key role in ensuring projects run smoothly from start to finish while developing your career with us.

Day-to-day

No two days are the same. However, here are some examples of what your day may look like:

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide administrative support to the Construction and Commissioning teams to ensure the smooth delivery of projects.
  • Manage project documentation, reports, and records using company management systems, including Viewpoint 4Projects.
  • Coordinate drawings, technical submittals, RFIs, RFAs, and document control, ensuring records remain accurate and up to date.
  • Prepare, proofread, and distribute project reports, meeting minutes, and management presentations.
  • Organise and attend project, client, and contract meetings, recording actions and tracking progress.
  • Maintain project trackers, schedules, organograms, and quality management systems.
  • Support project set-up, handovers, and commissioning by coordinating documentation, O&M manuals, testing records, and certification.
  • Liaise with project teams, engineers, subcontractors, and clients to ensure information is issued, received, and actioned promptly.
  • Coordinate Health & Safety documentation, site compliance records, inspections, and other project administration requirements.
  • Monitor office supplies, maintain project filing systems, and ensure documentation is archived in line with company procedures.
  • Identify opportunities to improve administrative processes and support continuous improvement across the department.
  • Carry out any other administrative duties required to support the successful delivery of projects.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
