Project Administrator / Language Assistant

The role: 

We are seeking a Project Administrator / Language Assistant to join our project team in Kyiv. The post is dual-hatted. You will run the administration and document control of the project management office, and you will provide the Ukrainian and English interpretation and translation the project depends on. 

The project is the reconstruction of an existing medical building in Kyiv, delivered for an international donor through a Ukrainian construction sub-contractor, with Ukrainian state bodies approving and accepting the works. The site stays in clinical use throughout. 

You will report to the Project Manager, with a functional line to the PMO Lead on document and reporting standards. You will work closely with the Liaison Officer, the Procurement Officer and the Clerk of Works. 

The project runs in two languages and under two legal systems. Construction records, site journals and statutory documents are kept in Ukrainian; reporting to our customer is in English. Much of what the project has to prove at the end is proved by documents, and the timeliness of what the office produces is scored against contractual deadlines. That is why the post exists, and why accuracy carries as much weight here as speed.
