I am working with a leading commercial fit out contractor to recruit an experienced Document Controller for their London team.

The vacancy is being created to replace an existing Document Controller who will be leaving the business in November to go travelling. The client is therefore looking to begin interviews from the end of August / early September, with the successful candidate ideally starting towards the end of October to allow for a smooth handover.

This is a permanent, fully site based role. The business does not offer hybrid working , so candidates must be comfortable working five days per week across live construction projects.

The successful candidate will manage document control across up to four live projects at any one time , depending on the size and value of the schemes. Projects are located across London and, due to the nature of the pipeline, specific future project locations cannot be confirmed at this stage.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage all project documentation across multiple live construction projects

• Upload, issue, track and distribute drawings, specifications and technical information

This role is specifically focused on Document Control within a construction environment . The client is not looking for candidates whose experience is predominantly Office Management or general administration .
