The order in which job vacancies are displayed is determined by a composite score based on the following factors:
Keyword Relevance: How well your search terms match the vacancy details. We prioritize matches found in the job title, followed by job requirements, location names, and educational levels. Matches within general employer information or the organization's name carry a lower weight.
Commercial Prioritization (Premium Jobs): Vacancies paid for by employers ('Premium' or 'Sponsored') receive a ranking boost and will appear higher in the search results.
Recency (Date Relevance): Newer vacancies are prioritized. The relevance score of a vacancy is reduced by half once the posting is older than 30 days.
Proximity (Distance Relevance): Vacancies located closer to your search location are ranked higher. For vacancies located more than 30 km from the search center, the relevance score is halved.
The final ranking is established by multiplying all these individual factors to calculate the total relevance score.

Clarkson Owens Recruitment is currently working with a busy civil engineering contractor based in Glasgow who is looking to add an experienced and proactive Administrator to their team.
The business has seen a healthy increase in workload and is looking for someone who can provide strong administrative support while being willing to take on additional responsibilities as required.
This is not necessarily a traditional administration role. Candidates with some design or technical experience would be particularly advantageous, as there may be opportunities to take on additional duties beyond standard administration.

Assisting with project and office documentation.

Managing correspondence, records and general project administration.

Liaising with colleagues, clients and other project stakeholders as required.

Supporting the team during a period of increased workload.
About You
The ideal candidate will be:
*
Proactive and organised with a strong attention to detail.
*
Confident working independently and managing their own workload.
*
Comfortable working in a busy environment with changing priorities.
*
A strong communicator with good written and verbal skills.
*
Experienced in an administrative role, ideally within construction, civil engineering or a related environment.
*
Comfortable using standard Microsoft Office packages.
Any experience with design, CAD or technical documentation would be highly advantageous, as this could allow the successful candidate to take on additional duties and develop the role beyond standard administration.
What's on Offer?
*
Freelance position for approximately 6 months.
*
Opportunity to work with an established civil engineering contractor.
*
Glasgow-based position.
*
Potential to take on a broader range of responsibilities depending on your experience.
