About the role
Do you want to be at the forefront of one of the world’s most ambitious sustainability initiatives?
Balfour Beatty have created iconic buildings and infrastructure all over the world over the past 115 years redefining excellence and setting the industry benchmark with every project.
As a result, alongside several consortium partners, Balfour Beatty have been selected by BP (British Petroleum) to construct a first-of-a-kind fully integrated gas-fired power station with carbon capture and storage which is a key driving force behind plans to make Teesside the UK’s first decarbonised industrial cluster.
Balfour Beatty is looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Senior Document Controller to support the Project Team, Supply Chain, and Stakeholders on the Net Zero Teesside project. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a major infrastructure initiative that will drive sustainability and innovation.
We welcome applicants with diverse experience, including those who have gained their expertise through hands-on roles rather than formal education. If you have a strong background in document control, information management, or construction project administration, we encourage you to apply.
What you’ll be doing
* Document Management & Compliance – Oversee document processes within the Common Data Environment (CDE), ensuring compliance with BS EN ISO 9001 and contractual requirements.
* Quality & Accuracy – Conduct QA checks, track workflows, and ensure all documentation follows approved processes while maintaining full traceability.
* Data & System Management – Manage document storage, retrieval, and integration using electronic document control systems and databases.
* Audits & Reporting – Perform regular audits, generate reports, and analyse trends to drive efficiency and continuous improvement.
* Process Improvement – Assist in refining procedures, guidelines, and workflows to align with industry best practices (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001).
* Stakeholder Collaboration – Provide guidance and support to the project team, supply chain, and external partners on document management best practices.
* Meetings & Communication – Actively participate in project meetings, liaising with different teams to ensure documentation processes run smoothly.
* Accreditation & Compliance Support – Assist with external audits and certifications, ensuring the business maintains compliance with industry standards.
Who we’re looking for
* Proven experience in document management, administration, or information control in a construction, engineering, or technical environment (typically several years, but we welcome applicants with equivalent hands-on expertise).
* Understanding of UK and international standards for document control and quality management.
* Experience with electronic document control systems and structured workflows.
* Familiarity with ISO 9001 or relevant document management frameworks.
* Strong IT and digital skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office and databases.
* Excellent organisational abilities – ability to manage multiple tasks, deadlines, and priorities effectively.
* Strong communication skills – able to liaise confidently with internal teams and external partners.
* Prior experience managing a team is a bonus but not essential.
* Understanding of contractual obligations and industry market knowledge is beneficial.
