About the Role
As a Commercial Assistant at Peabody, you will be a vital part of a small team ensuring that all contractor repair works are accurately coded, costed, and quality checked. Your role will involve validating invoices, reviewing photos and Schedule of Rates (SOR) codes, and maintaining precise records to support a high-quality, cost-efficient repairs service. You will assist in preparing weekly cost and productivity reports, support commercial reporting, and help keep stakeholders informed. Working closely with contractors, planners, supervisors, and commercial colleagues, you will provide essential administrative support and help ensure commercial controls are consistently followed. This role requires strong organisation, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple commercial processes accurately and efficiently.

You are comfortable working with financial data and liaising with contractors and colleagues. A commitment to accuracy and a keen eye for detail are vital for success in this role.
