Project Administrator

Project Administrators take care of all the administrative and compliance tasks related to an organisational project. Their chief responsibility is to maintain the project’s paper-trail, ensuring that proper documentation and compliance reporting is in place.

As a Project Administrator you could be processing invoices, paying suppliers, booking contractors, arranging meetings of the project team, preparing reports, assisting with budgets, checking sub-contractor licences and permits, or liaising with the project officer.
