Commercial Administrator / Cost Administrator

A47 – Honingham, Norwich
£16.00 per hour + £2.21 holiday accrual

Due to continued project expansion, an additional Commercial / Cost Administrator is required on the A47 scheme near Honingham, Norwich.

This is not a replacement role. The project is secured through to Summer 2027, with the potential for work beyond that.

We’ve already successfully placed 5+ people into this project, and it’s a well-run site with a settled commercial team.


The role

This is a numbers-led commercial administration role, supporting the commercial team with cost control and financial processes rather than Quantity Surveying duties.

You’ll be responsible for keeping on top of the detail and making sure the financial information flowing through the project is accurate and up to date.

Typical duties include:

  • Processing subcontractor invoices and applications

  • Raising, tracking and closing purchase orders

  • Cost tracking and general commercial administration

  • Maintaining accurate records across cost management systems

  • Liaising with site teams, commercial staff and accounts

  • Supporting audits and financial reporting where required

This role does not involve CVRs or QS responsibilities. It’s about control, accuracy, and staying on top of the numbers.


Who this suits

This role works particularly well for:

  • Ex-finance or accounts-based candidates

  • Commercial Administrators / Cost Clerks / Cost Admins

  • People comfortable working with cost management or finance systems

Experience with systems such as:

  • Xero

  • Sage

  • COINS, CEMAR, SAP, or similar cost / finance platforms

Construction or civils experience is useful, but a strong financial or systems background is just as valuable.

You’ll need to be:

  • Highly organised and detail-focused

  • Confident working with numbers and financial data

  • Comfortable in a site-based environment

  • Reliable and consistent over a long-term contract

Local candidates to Norwich / Honingham are strongly preferred.


Contract details

  • £16.00 per hour

  • £2.21 per hour holiday pay (paid on top)

  • Long-term contract to at least Summer 2027

  • Potential for work beyond project completion

  • Stable role within an established commercial team


If you want a long-term, stable site role where being good with numbers actually matters, this is a strong opportunity.

Happy to run through the team, systems, and day-to-day properly over the phone.
