Cost Administrator

Location: Honingham, Norwich
Pay: £16.50 per hour (PAYE, 42.5 hours per week)
Contract Length: 6 month rolling contract position. Project has ~18 months left (so strong potential for extension)
Start: Mid November 25

We’re working with a leading Tier 1 contractor delivering a major highways project on the A47 in Norwich. They’re looking to bring in another Cost Administrator to join their well-established commercial team, which already has four people in post.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working with numbers, managing invoices and keeping everything organised. You’ll be responsible for helping the team process subcontractor payments, track costs and ensure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. The work is steady, structured and important, supporting one of the region’s most significant infrastructure projects.

You’ll be processing and tracking subcontractor invoices and payments, making sure timescales are met and records are accurate. You’ll handle purchase orders, update cost management systems and keep cost data up to date. You’ll work closely with subcontractors to chase paperwork and resolve simple queries, ensuring all documentation is complete. Supporting the commercial and finance teams, you’ll help maintain reports and spreadsheets that keep the project running efficiently.

Because these works operate on tight margins, attention to detail and care with figures are essential. You’ll need to treat the company’s money as if it were your own, double-checking data and making sure everything balances correctly.

• Background in administration or finance

• Experience working with invoices, purchase orders and cost management systems

• Confident with computers, particularly Microsoft Excel

• Comfortable handling and checking numerical data

• Organised, dependable and able to work well within a busy but supportive team

• Based locally to Norwich or the surrounding area

This is a chance to join a high-performing and friendly team on a major local project. You’ll be working with a Tier 1 contractor that offers stability and genuine long-term opportunities. The contract runs for at least (on a 6 month rolling basis) 18 months, with potential for longer, and offers a steady 42.5-hour week, Monday to Friday, at £16.50 per hour PAYE.

If you’re organised, good with numbers and enjoy seeing the results of your work on large infrastructure projects, this could be an excellent opportunity for you.
