Tradeglaze is an award-winning manufacturer and installer of bespoke windows and doors, serving trade, commercial and domestic customers across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire.
Due to continued growth, we are looking for a Production Administrator / Order Processor to join our technical and production team.
Previous experience within the window and door industry is not essential. Full training will be provided.
We are looking for someone with a strong computer-based administrative background who is organised, accurate and confident working with detailed information. You will be trained to use specialist industry software and develop the technical knowledge required to process customer orders into information that can be used by our manufacturing teams.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to move from a general administration role into a more specialised and technical career.

- Input and process customer orders using specialist computer software.
- Check order information carefully for accuracy and completeness.
- Produce paperwork and documentation for our manufacturing teams.
- Maintain accurate electronic records and order information.

A Role You Can Develop Into
