Document Controller | Engineering Projects & Asset Handover | Oxford (On-site)
BioTalent are partnered with a growing organisation in Oxford delivering complex engineering and facilities projects, alongside managing operational assets.
They are looking for a Document Controller who understands engineering environments, not just admin processes.
This role sits at the centre of project delivery, supporting everything from live builds through to handover and long-term asset documentation.
The Role
You will take ownership of engineering documentation across multiple projects and operational assets, ensuring everything from drawings to O&M manuals is accurate, controlled, and ready for handover. You’ll be working directly with engineers and contractors, dealing with real-world project pressure, incomplete information, and tight timelines.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
- Managing engineering drawings, technical documents, and revision control
- Owning document control processes across active projects
- Coordinating O&M manuals, as-built drawings, and handover packs
- Administering and improving the electronic Document Management System (DMS)
- Working closely with engineers, contractors, and facilities teams to chase and validate documentation
- Supporting project handover and asset documentation readiness
- Driving improvements in document workflows, structure, and standards
- Ensuring documentation is audit-ready and aligned to project requirements
What We’re Looking For
You’ve likely worked as a:
- Document Controller
- Engineering Document Controller
- Project Document Controller
Within:
- Engineering projects
- Construction / infrastructure
- Facilities or asset-heavy environments
More importantly:
- You understand O&M manuals, as-built drawings, and project handover requirements
- You’re used to working with engineers and contractors, not just internal teams
- You’re comfortable managing large volumes of technical documentation under pressure
- You’ve used DMS platforms and worked with CAD drawing control
This role suits someone who enjoys structure, but can also handle the reality of live engineering projects.
Why This Role
- Exposure to real engineering and facilities projects, not just admin workflows
- Central role in project delivery and handover
- Opportunity to improve and shape document control systems
- Stable, growing environment with ongoing project activity
