With over 10,000 talented individuals across the region, our people power the extraordinary – delivering innovative solutions that make a real impact on millions of lives.
We’re driven by ambition, creativity, and a collective commitment to excellence. At Altrad, no two days are the same, and no idea is too small. We value fresh thinking, big-picture problem solving, and people who are ready to rise to a challenge.

What You’ll Bring to the Role:
We’re after someone who is not only organised and diligent but who can also work under pressure and stay calm when things get busy. You’ll need to be a confident communicator and someone who’s comfortable working across systems and with multiple teams.
· You have a Modern Apprenticeship in Business Administration, or equivalent relevant experience
· You’re CITB HS&E Operators Certified

· You have strong IT skills and experience using administrative systems
· You have the ability to handle confidential information with discretion
· You’re able to work to tight deadlines while juggling multiple tasks
