At Babcock, we’re working to create a safe and secure world, together. If you join us, you can play your part as an Administrator at Gibraltar Barracks, Minley, near Blackwater, Hampshire.

The role

As an Administrator you’ll have a role that’s out of the ordinary. You’ll provide the coordination and admin support that keeps our estates services running smoothly across the Royal School of Military Engineering(RSME) contract. You’ll help our teams deliver thousands of planned and reactive maintenance tasks, ensuring engineers, supervisors and suppliers have the right information at the right time—directly supporting defence training and national security readiness while building your skills in a fast‑moving, people‑centred organisation.

Day‑to‑day you’ll be required to:

• Manage service desk queries and allocate reactive jobs to the appropriate engineers.
• Coordinate planned preventive maintenance schedules and track progress to completion.
• Raise and receipt purchase orders; resolve invoice queries and keep records audit‑ready.
• Liaise with contractors and suppliers to book visits, chase reports and agree dates.
• Maintain accurate documentation and update systems (e.g., CAFM, SAP/Tabbs) for pricing sheets, timesheets and compliance.

This role is full time, 37 hours per week and is based on site at Minley. Set working times are Monday –Thursday 08:00–16:30 and Friday 08:00–16:00.

Essential experience of the Administrator:

• Proven experience in an administrative role within a fast‑paced environment.
• Confidence using business systems and Microsoft Office; familiarity with SAP and/or CAFM (e.g., Tabbs FM) is an advantage—full training provided.
• Experience supporting facilities management, maintenance or engineering teams is beneficial.
• Strong stakeholder skills—able to communicate clearly with supervisors, engineers, suppliers and customers.
• High attention to detail with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines.

Qualifications for the Administrator:

We value difference and don’t have a fixed idea when it comes to background or education, provided you can show the required level of experience and/or willingness to learn then we would like to hear from you. However, a full UK driving licence would be beneficial.
