About the Role
This is a varied and important role within a small, ambitious business.
You will work closely with customers, suppliers and colleagues to ensure orders, projects and day-to-day activities run smoothly.
No two days are the same. One day you could be coordinating a customer installation, the next chasing supplier deliveries, supporting customer enquiries or ensuring a large equipment order progresses on schedule.

- Reviewing stock requirements and supporting purchasing decisions
- Identifying opportunities to consolidate orders, reduce carriage costs and improve efficiency
- Maintaining accurate information within Unleashed, Xero, Nutshell and other business systems
- Supporting the ongoing improvement of internal processes
About You
You will be someone who enjoys being organised, solving problems and making sure things get done.
You are likely to have experience in an operations, purchasing, customer service or administration role within a manufacturing, engineering, distribution or similar business.
Most importantly, you will:
- Take ownership and responsibility for your work
- Be highly organised and detail focused
- Enjoy working in a fast-paced environment
- Communicate confidently with customers and suppliers
