About the role

What you’ll do

Administrative assistant to the site supervisor

From the site, you’ll ensure the smooth running of this major construction project. You’ll be responsible for providing administrative and organisational support to the site team – including management, project managers and site managers. You’ll work closely with the site manager and therefore play a crucial role, as without your support, our staff and subcontractors on site would be unable to get to work. Your responsibilities:

• You ensure that subcontractors have the correct documents and insurance to be allowed to work on site. 
• You organise the filing of site documents, delivery notes, concrete delivery notes, etc., both digitally and physically. 
• You will handle the administrative follow-up of invoicing and manage the approval process. 
• You will order site and office supplies and ensure they arrive on site on time. 
• You will provide various forms of administrative support to the site managers. 
• You will be able to learn ‘on the job’ thanks to your close collaboration with the site manager and your frequent contact with other staff members.

What do you need to have? 

• You must hold at least an A2 qualification in an administrative field.
• You have relevant work experience, as you’ll be taking on a great deal of responsibility within a large-scale project.
• With your clear communication style, you can bring order to what is often a complex working environment.
• You’ll be given a great deal of autonomy, which you’ll use to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible on site. 
• You speak and write French very fluently. Knowledge of English and/or Dutch is an asset.
• You’re available to be on site from 7 am.
• You hold a valid Category B driving licence.You will mainly be based at the project site in Waremme, and you are willing to travel to other projects between Namur and Liège.
