Senior Procurement Administrator - 12 Months Ftc

Whether you’re talking about length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount or the brightness of light, the National Physical Laboratory sets the standards by which these things are all measured.

Every department has their own set of unique needs. As their Senior Administrator, you’ll get to understand exactly what those needs are and then help everything run as smoothly as possible. This is an ideal opportunity to start your career with us. Who knows where you’ll end up? At NPL, we touch ordinary lives in extraordinary ways and you could too.

We work in a hybrid way, with a mix of remote and office working (minimum two days onsite in Teddington).

You’ll be responsible for a vast array of administrative roles that will ensure your department operates efficiently. Handling enquiries, you’ll either resolve them yourself or pass the enquiry on to the relevant person. Perhaps someone needs some data, information or a report. If they do, you’ll know where to locate it and circulate it as needed. You’ll also be the one who takes responsibility for updating and maintaining your departments records, systems and databases. You’ll even organise and manage department activities and supplies. Whatever is asked of you, you’ll give it your all. And whilst you’ll follow the various procedures and processes in place, if you see something that can improved upon, we’ll expect you to share your thoughts. At NPL, we embrace change for the better.

You’ll will also get to know each departments unique needs and set up the right levels of administrative support to deliver on them.

Taking a particular interest in the management’s needs, you’ll help prepare and circulate documents, as well as conduct research. Finally, you’ll also take responsibility for the implementation and maintenance of the systems and databases – ensuring they are compliant and accurate.
