Do you have what it takes to transform society?

At Sweco our people are our greatest asset. We're currently looking for an HR Administrator to join our team of Difference Makers supporting the operation in our collective goal to transform society together by being part of our busy HR Operations team.

This role is based in our Leeds office and can be worked flexibly with a minimum of 3 days per week in the office and the option of adjusted start and finish times. 

The role is a full time, fixed term contract expected to last for 10 months to provide maternity cover.

What does the role involve?

As a member of the HR Operations team, you'll provide support to business managers, colleagues and the wider HR team to effectively manage people related activity in line with Sweco HR policies, procedures and practices ensuring compliance with UK and Ireland legislation.

Working with a high level of accuracy and excellent attention to detail you'll monitor the HR inbox, responding to queries in a timely manner. You'll also process new starter documentation, maintain the HR system, produce documents regarding contractual changes, support visa applications, administer benefits and assist with annual pay review and annual bonus payments as required. 

You'll continuously review and make improvements to Best Practice processes and procedures and implement changes as agreed and ensure strict compliance with the Data Protection Act 1998 (GDPR) at all times. 

To be successful in this role you’ll:

• Have sound experience in generalist administration (experience in an HR environment is advantageous but not essential).
• Possess a high level of attention to detail with the ability to work to varying deadlines. 
• Have strong planning and prioritising skills with the flexibility to adapt to changing situations.  
• Have the ability to work independently whilst asking for assistance as required.

• Have excellent communication skills both written and verbal with the ability to adapt your style to suit the audience.
• Have strong MS skills in Word, Excel, Outlook & Teams and the ability to learn in-house systems as required.

If you believe you have the skill set required, are keen to join a business with genuine opportunities for career progression, then we’d love to hear from you.

Sweco UK&I have an internal resourcing team who are responsible for all recruiting activity.  We have a Preferred Supplier List of trusted agencies who we work with on those “hard to fill” roles.

We have defined processes for recruitment applications and it is company policy not to accept speculative CVs.  Any speculative CVs received into the business (whether to a manager or member of the resourcing team) will become the property of Sweco and the agency will not be eligible for an introductory fee.

Our Preferred Supplier List was reviewed in December 2023 and we are not looking to add any additional agencies. We’ll be reviewing the PSL again at the end of 2024 and non-compliance with the above statements could be detrimental to you having the opportunity to be included.
