Comtec Translations is growing and we’re looking for a new translation project co-ordinator to join our team!

Are you looking to explore a career in Project Management?

We’re an award-winning translations company with lots of exciting projects in the pipeline and it’s a brilliant time to come and join our team. You don’t need to be multi-lingual, but if you have a passion for languages (perhaps you studied languages at university, or there’s a second one spoken within your family), are a confident communicator and have the drive to develop a career in project management, then it would be great to hear from you!

Having been in business for 40+ years, and with more than 200 languages in our repertoire, we are the trusted translation partner to an ever-expanding line up of worldwide brands. From fashion and finance to medicine and manufacturing, our client list is extremely varied, and no two days are ever the same!

We provide world-class translation and localisation services to businesses of all shapes and sizes so they can expand global reach, grow their customer base and deliver fully inclusive communications to global teams. Working with an exceptional network of linguists we help brands produce multi-lingual marketing campaigns across social media, websites, mobile apps, video and print and help them deliver word-perfect training programmes and eLearning courses for international audiences.

We’re a B Corp accredited company, which proves we meet high standards of positive social and environmental impact – it’s something we’re very proud of as it shows we truly care about our people, our partners and the planet.

We have a strong culture of promoting from within, so your career development is as important to us, as it is to you. Once in post, you’ll be fully supported as you learn, gain in confidence and develop your skills. So, if you’re a strong communicator, ready to take your first steps in project management, or looking for your next challenge in the professional services sector, we’d like to hear from you.

To support the team with planning, resourcing and scheduling of projects by:

• Communicating with, and co-ordinating translators, proofreaders, and internal team members across projects

• Ensuring deadlines, quality standards and project aims are met

• Supporting internal teams to provide great client care, attract new clients and expand our service provision to them

• Supplying clients with project costings using specialist software

• Communicating project information to clients and project teams via email and telephone

• Managing general information and admin

 

Candidate core values 

To succeed in this role, confidence is a must; as is a willingness to learn, a keen eye for detail and the ability to remain organised in a fast-paced working environment that’s different every day. An interest in language, culture and the wider world is essential, but we don’t need you to be able to translate – we have people for that!

 

Candidates must be: 

• Customer focused with strong verbal and written communication skills

• Well organised with good attention to detail

• Willing to learn

• Team oriented with ability to use initiative

• Conscientious, resourceful and results focused

• Curious and not afraid to ask questions

• Self-disciplined and accountable

This is a graduate, or early-career position, so extensive experience in the workplace is not a requirement. Neither is experience of the translation industry. Six months in a customer-facing position will be enough to get you started.

We offer a competitive salary based on experience and skills, alongside a wealth of other perks, including a detailed employee development programme to kick start and grow your career, a comprehensive training package and plenty of team socials.

·      Competitive salary from £23,000 upwards depending on experience

·      Performance bonus – typically 10%+ of salary.

·      Ongoing training programme with plenty of opportunities to broaden and develop skills – we invest in our people.

·      Great career progression.

·      A friendly, people-centric supportive culture.

·      Well-being programmes and social events

·      A varied and challenging role – no one day is the same!

·      Hybrid working arrangement depending on level of experience and training requirements

·      Casual dress

·      Referral programme

·      Relocation assistance

As we continue to expand across a global marketplace, this is a genuinely wonderful opportunity to join a well-established, B-Corp-certified company and become part of a brilliantly friendly and totally supportive team!
