What an office assistant does on a project

A site office runs on small tasks that nobody else has time for: carrying signed documents to the consultant, collecting stamped drawings, restocking stationery and water, setting up the meeting room, and receiving visitors at the site office. An office assistant frees engineers and secretaries from those tasks. List the daily tasks you expect, so the person matched is comfortable with the mix.

Site office or head office

A site office assistant works in cabins or temporary offices, often walking between site, stores and gate, and follows site safety rules like everyone else on the project. A head office assistant works in a permanent office with more reception and filing work. The habits differ. State where the assistant will be based and how much time is spent on site, so the match reflects it.

Document runs and driving

Many document runs are by car: to the consultant's office, the client, government offices or couriers. If the assistant will drive, they need a valid Saudi driving licence for the vehicle, and the vehicle arrangement has to be agreed, either provided by your project or quoted on request. Say in the RFQ whether driving is part of the role, so the licence is checked before approval.

Meetings and visitors

Site offices receive clients, consultants, inspectors and suppliers every week. The office assistant prepares meeting rooms, arranges refreshments, guides visitors to the right person and makes sure visitors complete the site induction or sign-in your site requires. Brief the assistant on your visitor procedure on day one, because they are often the first person visitors meet.

What to check before they start

  • List the daily tasks and check the CV shows similar office support work.
  • If driving is required, check the original licence against the copy sent with the CV.
  • Brief your visitor procedure, site induction rules for visitors and the office layout on day one.
  • Agree how document runs are logged, so signed and stamped documents can be traced.
  • Confirm who in the office gives the assistant daily instructions.
  • Agree which offices and government counters the assistant will visit, and brief them on what each visit needs.

Typical crew shape

An office assistant usually works for the office secretary or site administrator, supporting the whole site office team. On larger projects, one assistant may cover several cabins or offices, or a second assistant may handle driving and document runs. Send the size of the office and the tasks, and the support is proposed with the rest of the office team.

Frequently asked questions
