R.G. Evans is looking for an organised Contracts Administrator to keep our plumbing and heating contracts running smoothly.

You’ll be the link between our clients, suppliers, site teams and the wider Evans Group. It’s a varied office role for someone who likes taking ownership and making things happen on time.

Experience in construction helps, but it isn’t essential. We’ll train the right person.

• Salary: £28,000 – £40,000 based on experience
• Contract: Permanent. Full-time, with part-time considered
• Hours: Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Flexible hours considered
• Location: Office based in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire

Benefits include:

• Free on-site parking
• Company pension scheme
• Ongoing training

The Role

Our contracts team supports new home developers, builders and specialist projects. Every contract needs careful admin, from the first instruction through to handover. That’s where you come in.

You’ll run the day-to-day admin on live contracts. You’ll keep records accurate, chase outstanding actions and make sure everyone has what they need. You’ll also support purchasing, so materials reach site when they’re needed.

After handover, some developments need servicing or aftercare. You’ll arrange this with our sister company, Heppelthwaite the Red Van Plumbers.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Running the day-to-day admin on live plumbing and heating contracts
• Answering emails from clients, suppliers and our own teams
• Keeping contract and project records accurate and up to date
• Tracking deadlines and chasing outstanding actions
• Raising orders and checking prices, stock and delivery dates with suppliers
• Sorting out delivery, invoice and purchasing queries
• Arranging servicing and aftercare with Heppelthwaite the Red Van Plumbers
• Preparing reports and updating our systems for the management team
• Strong organisation and a good eye for detail
• Good IT skills, including Word, Excel and email

It would help if you have:

• Experience in construction, plumbing, heating or a builders’ merchant
• Purchasing or contract admin experience

Above all, we value attitude. If you’re positive, proactive and keen to learn, we’ll help with the rest.

Coming From a Different Role?

You don’t need to have done this exact job before. Many of the skills carry over from other roles.

This job could suit you if you currently work as a contracts or project administrator, purchasing assistant or office administrator. It could also suit a customer service, account or project coordinator.

It’s also a great next step if you’re ready for more responsibility. Tell us about your experience and we’ll take it into account.

Where This Can Lead

R.G. Evans is part of the Evans Group. The group covers plumbing, heating, underfloor heating, renewables, servicing and new-build installations.

As the group grows, so do the opportunities. For the right person, this role can lead into contract management, purchasing or project coordination. You could also move into other parts of the group.

We’ll support your training as you progress, so you can build a long-term career with us.
