Administration and Site Support

The Opportunity

A fixed term contract to support a well-established electrical engineering business delivering services at one of the UK's largest live events - the Farnborough Airshow.

This is a front-of-house, site-based support role, working closely with engineers, contractors and subcontractors throughout the event. You'll be a key point of contact on site, helping keep operations organised, accurate and running smoothly.

The site is large and fast-paced, so being happy and confident moving across different areas of the site is essential.

You'll start with a structured onboarding period to learn systems and processes, before stepping into a busy, high-energy environment as the show builds.

• Has strong attention to detail and takes pride in getting things right
• Is comfortable using systems (or keen to learn - training will be provided)
• Brings a proactive, can-do attitude
• Is happy working across a large, busy site and staying on their feet

This could suit someone from a retail, hospitality, admin or events background, or someone looking to demonstrate a more Admin / Operational role on their CV.

• Acting as a key point of contact for engineers and contractors on site
