Workforce Administrator

About the role

Be part of a once-in-a-generation infrastructure project that will help power 6
million homes with clean, reliable energy for decades to come.

Sizewell C Nuclear Power Station is a landmark development on the Suffolk coast,
delivering a 3.2GW nuclear power station that will play a critical role in the UK's
low-carbon future.

The project is delivered through the Civil Works Alliance (CWA), bringing together
world-class expertise from major global infrastructure programmes. Within this,
the Geotechnical Sub Alliance (GSA) is responsible for delivering complex ground
engineering works, including piling, ground improvement and diaphragm walls,
from January 2026 to mid-2028.

As a Workforce Administrator, you'll play a key role in supporting the effective
mobilisation, training and development of the project workforce. Working closely
with the Workforce Manager, site teams, HSE and HR partners, you'll help ensure
that everyone on site is properly inducted, trained and compliant before they begin
work.

This is a site-based role at Orwell Logistics Park, Ipswich, offering exposure to large-scale workforce management within one of the UK's most significant infrastructure programmes.

What you'll be doing

In this role, you'll support the coordination and administration of training,
induction and workforce compliance activities across the GSA sites.
You'll maintain accurate training and certification records, monitoring expiry dates
and renewal schedules to ensure continued compliance with mandatory
requirements. By liaising with approved training providers, you'll help arrange
courses, confirm onboarding and support the development of site capability.

You'll organise and book site inductions for new starters and visitors, maintain
induction records, and ensure timely updates to access and security systems.
Working closely with operational and HSE teams, you'll help align training and
induction processes with project risks and regulatory standards.

You'll manage the Learning & Development database used across the Alliance,
generate compliance and performance reports for project stakeholders, and respond
to workforce-related queries from site teams and HR departments. Through
accurate record keeping, you'll support audits, inspections and governance
requirements.

In addition, you'll support the Workforce Manager with labour coordination and
resource planning, helping to track mobilisations, demobilisations and workforce
availability. You'll assist in maintaining labour plans and communicating updates
to site teams to ensure the project remains fully resourced and aligned with
programme demands.

Throughout the role, you'll ensure all workforce data is handled in line with GDPR
and internal data protection policies.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for an organised, detail-oriented and proactive individual who
enjoys working in a people-focused, operational environment and takes pride in
delivering high-quality administrative support.

You'll ideally have experience in a training, workforce or HR administration role
within construction or infrastructure, along with a strong understanding of
compliance and certification requirements. You'll bring excellent organisational
and communication skills, enabling you to work effectively with site teams,
managers, training providers and alliance partners.

You'll be confident using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Word and Outlook,
and have experience working with training, induction or workforce management
systems. A good understanding of construction training frameworks and data
protection requirements will support your success in the role.

Experience working within a multi-company alliance or joint venture environment,
familiarity with piling-specific training needs, and knowledge of certification
schemes such as CSCS, CPCS and NPORS would be advantageous. A
qualification in Business Administration, HR or Learning & Development is also
desirable.

Most importantly, you'll demonstrate a collaborative mindset, a commitment to
safety and compliance, and a genuine desire to contribute to a nationally significant
project that will leave a lasting legacy.
