Are you interested in working for a world top 100 University?

The University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) have an exciting opportunity for a Project Administrator to join our AMRC Machining Group.

In this role, you will provide project administration support to the Machining Group. You will support project teams and staff within the group in administrative tasks such as ordering and purchasing items from SAP, organising and booking of travel and accommodation for staff and preparing documents (e.g. spreadsheets, timesheets etc) for the wide and varied Machining group projects you will support.

As a Project Administrator, you will work on various topics and themes across the whole Machining Group, with support and guidance from your Line Manager and the group’s head of project management.

• Ability to multi-task in a fast-paced environment, especially where at times the content may be technical and unfamiliar.
• Management of information, including capturing actions, carrying out and follow up of actions.
• Ability to develop creative approaches to problem solving.
