• Supporting with onboarding of new recruits into the company
• Keeping the time & attendance system updated, recording all authorised leave (including sickness and holidays) and ensuring reconciliation of holidays is completed
• Completing return to work documents
• Preparation of travel arrangements for all staff
• Supporting in the co-ordination of arranging Site Events such as organisation of visitors wearing PPE
