Document Controller

Salary: R29 000 - R32 000 per month

Remote Recruitment is hiring a Document Controller for a UK employer, fully remote from South Africa.

Role overview

You will be the single source of truth for project and company documentation: naming, versioning, issuing and archiving so nobody works from the wrong drawing or the wrong revision. It suits someone precise who dislikes ambiguity.

You will work 09: 00-17:00 UK time (11:00-19:00 SAST) from home, with equipment guidance, a proper induction and a manager who is contactable through the day. This is a permanent role, not a short contract.

Key responsibilities

Maintain the document register and control all revisions

Issue documents to internal teams and external parties on schedule

Enforce naming, numbering and filing conventions

Track approvals and keep a clean audit trail

Archive superseded documents and manage retention

Support audits with complete, retrievable records

What you'll need

Two or more years in document control, records or project administration

Experience with a document system such as SharePoint, Aconex or Viewpoint

Strong attention to version detail and naming discipline

Clear written English for issuing and chasing approvals

Reliable home internet and a quiet space for UK-hours work

Nice to have

Exposure to ISO 9001 or similar quality standards

Experience in construction, engineering or energy projects

Familiarity with CAD drawing registers

What's on offer

A permanent, fully remote role with defined procedures, a supportive project lead and genuine ownership of the document set. Strong controllers progress into project administration or quality roles.
