Document Controller:

The role of a Document Controller involves taking the responsibility for managing and controlling all project documents and correspondence from the award of a contract through to final handover. This role is essential to the Project Team and the Document Controller must ensure all administrative and support roles are fulfilled.  Depending on the size of the project this may or may not be a full-time role however, this will be determined at the tendering stage. The role is normally site-based. Time allocation will vary from project-to-project and may alter during the duration of the project depending on the individual demands at any given time. 

Document Controllers will be allocated to individual projects by the Lead Document Controller, and, on occasion, the Document Controller will be expected to work on several different projects. This will be controlled and monitored and, where possible, allocation will be based on geographical location, current workloads, skill sets available and previous working relationships.

The role also requires close liaison with the Lead Document Controller in order that company procedures and protocols are closely maintained. The manager will be there as your point of contact for all issues but also to ensure you are supported and trained in the areas you wish to develop over the next few years.
