My client is looking for an organised, practical and dependable person to join their small team and help coordinate the day-to-day running of their operations.
This is a genuinely varied role combining office-based job coordination with practical yard and logistics support. Some days will be predominantly office based; others may involve organising equipment, loading vehicles or making a delivery or collection.
The main objective is simple: help make sure the jobs, people and equipment are organised and ready when they need to be.
What You'll Be Doing
- Coordinating upcoming crane and lifting jobs
- Booking cranes, labour and other resources
- Liaising with customers, suppliers and site teams
- Maintaining the job diary and keeping information up to date
- Making sure the right equipment and lifting accessories are available for upcoming work
- Organising the yard, crane mats and lifting equipment
- Loading and unloading vehicles
- Delivering and collecting equipment when required
- Helping resolve the everyday operational issues that arise
- Providing practical support to the wider operation when needed
You won't be expected to do everything yourself. You'll work closely with the Managing Director and the wider team of lifting professionals, subcontractors and external support.
The Person
We're looking for someone who is equally comfortable organising things on a computer and getting practically involved when required.
- Organised and able to manage changing priorities
- Confident communicating with customers and suppliers
- Practical, hands-on and willing to get involved
- Comfortable using computers and learning new systems
- Able to work independently and take ownership
- Happy working in a small business where no two days are quite the same
- Based within reasonable travelling distance of Ripley, Derbyshire
Experience in crane hire, plant hire, transport, haulage, construction, tool/equipment hire or logistics would be useful, but isn't essential.
A full UK driving licence is required.
A CPCS/NPORS Slinger/Signaller qualification would be an advantage but isn't essential. Training could be provided for the right person.
Where the Role Can Lead
Initially you'll work closely with the Managing Director while learning how the business operates and helping further develop their systems and processes.
As your knowledge and confidence grow, we'd like you to take increasing ownership of the day-to-day operation.
For the right person, there is genuine scope for this role to develop into a more senior Operations Coordinator/Operations Management position.
My client is less interested in finding someone who already ticks every box and more interested in finding someone with the right attitude, organisation, practical ability and willingness to take responsibility.
If you like variety, enjoy making things happen and want the opportunity to become an important part of a growing business, I'd be interested to hear from you.
