Resource Forecasting & Documentation Coordinator
About the job:
As a Resource Forecasting & Documentation Coordinator, you will support the Operations team with resource forecasting and allocation across live and pipeline projects. Working within a defined process and reporting into the COO, you will help keep Bridgit Bench ( our cloud-based workforce planning and resource forecasting platform) accurate and current, coordinate inputs from Project Leadership and the Bid team, and support day-to-day documentation activities.
This role operates within an established scope of responsibility, with clear escalation routes for anything outside that scope. You will be expected to deliver your day-to-day work independently once trained, while working closely with more senior Operations colleagues for guidance on complex or ambiguous situations.
This is a good opportunity for an organised, detail-oriented individual who enjoys working with data and people, and who wants to build a career in resource planning and operations.
About you:
The candidate must be based in Ireland to be considered for this position.
Leaving Certificate or equivalent; a relevant third-level qualification is an advantage.
Recent graduates and candidates with administrative, coordination, or scheduling experience are encouraged to apply.
Strong organisational skills and high attention to detail.
Good working knowledge of MS Word; working knowledge of MS Excel is advantageous.
Comfortable following up with colleagues at all levels for outstanding information, in a polite and professional manner.
Good written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work independently within defined processes, and as part of a team.
Strong time management skills and ability to meet deadlines.
Motivated, reliable, and comfortable working with a degree of ambiguity as the role and processes develop.
Role Requirements
Forecasting
Act as a point of contact for Ops Directors/Associates submitting resource requirements.
Liaise with the Bid team to track pipeline projects and update resource forecasts as bids progress.
Input, maintain, and reconcile resource requirements in Bridgit Bench.
Support the forecasting cycle: capture, allocate, rebalance, and report.
Follow up with Project Leaders and the Bid team for outstanding or overdue inputs.
Flag resource conflicts, shortfalls, or over-commitments to your manager for review.
Help produce regular forecast vs. actual reporting for leadership.
Support data integrity in Bridgit Bench, escalating stale or unverified entries.
Documentation
Assist with modifying and maintaining engineering standard specifications and reports.
Maintain document templates and version control.
Manage own workload between forecasting and documentation tasks, prioritising forecasting.
No previous forecasting or document control experience required - full training will be provided.
Key Knowledge
Good working knowledge of MS Word; MS Excel and MS Outlook also used regularly.
Experience with resource/scheduling software is an advantage; Bridgit Bench experience is a bonus, not a requirement.
Excellent attention to detail and accuracy, particularly around data entry and reporting.
Experience gained through internships, work placements, or office/operations administration roles would be beneficial but is not essential.
A background in engineering, construction, or professional services is desirable but not essential.
