• Monitoring spare parts orders and following their progress through the business.
• Checking supplier deliveries against order details and chasing outstanding purchase orders.
• Liaising with colleagues about order progress, picking, packing and delivery arrangements.
• Updating customers on their orders and escalating delays or shortages when needed.
• Helping other departments with data entry, scanning, filing and general administration.

What we’re looking for

• Previous experience in an administrative role.
• Experience communicating directly with customers.
• Confidence using Outlook, Word and Excel.
• Good organisation skills and the ability to manage changing priorities.
• Excellent accuracy and attention to detail.
• A clear, polite communication style and the ability to learn new processes quickly.

The role is office-based and offers a flexitime scheme. Core hours are 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm, with flexibility around these provided you work 37.5 hours per week.
 
If you’re available to start soon and could stay beyond the initial three months if required, we’d like to hear from you. Apply through Headway Recruitment for more information.
