Job Summary;

The Contractor Records Assistant will execute the heavy duty physical handling, organising and digital cataloguing of the company’s archival assets. This is a highly active, labour-intensive role designed for a versatile, dynamic and physically robust fresh graduate. The successful candidate will spend a significant portion of their time sorting massive backlogs of files, packing boxes, loading/unloading transport vehicles and climbing to manage high-shelf inventory while seamlessly switching to a computer database entry.

Key Duties and Responsibilities;

  • Manually lift, stack, pack and carry heavy boxes of records, large ledgers and archival materials daily.
  • Physically load packed records boxes onto transport trucks and offload them at the Records Centre.
  • Climb ladders and utilise step stools to safely retrieve, shelf and arrange heavy storage boxes on high warehouse racks.
  • Secure the physical storage areas, managing keys, locks and ensuring the physical safety and cleanliness of the archives.
  • Process large volumes of unorganised paperwork, sorting them alphabetically, chronologically and according to the specific classification scheme.
  • Create highly detailed descriptions, lists and data for all packed physical boxes.
  • Oversee the structural transfer of semi-current and inactive records from active offices to the Records Centre.
  • Efficiently transfer physical index lists into the Electronic Document and Records Management System and spreadsheets.
  • Retrieve both physical and electronic records as requested by staff.
  • Follow strict Records Management and data privacy policies to safeguard sensitive company and client information.
  • Team Support to the senior section staff.

Experience and Qualification:

  • A Fresh Graduate Highly Preferred.
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Records & Archives Management Library and Information Science (MUST)
  • 0 – 3 Year. This is a career starting role designed for someone eager to build foundational experience from the ground up.
  • Must be capable of continuous standing, bending, lifting heavy loads (up to 20–25kg regularly) and working comfortably at heights (ladders/shelving units).
  • A fast-moving, proactive individual who thrives in a warehouse or active archive setting rather than a strictly desk-bound environment.
  • Ability to organise physical spaces, maximise shelf capacity and follow warehouse safety protocols.
  • Strong computer literacy with rapid and accurate alphanumeric data entry skills.
  • A strong passion for records management coupled with a deep understanding of indexing, filing and sorting logic.
  • Attention to detail to ensure zero data loss in records classification.
