Job Description

Great opportunity for a Transport Administrator to join the team at our Harlow depot. Working on our day shift pattern, you will work an 9.5 hour shift between the hours of 09:00-20:30, 5 out of 6 days across Monday to Saturday. The main focus of the role is to provide support to the drivers once they have completed their drops. You’ll be liaising with the wider team & other departments to ensure corrective action is taken on delivery issues.

As part of your duties, you will fully de-brief drivers regarding delivery performance. You’ll be filing and preparing paperwork and answering incoming and outgoing phone calls, responding appropriately in a professional manner. And you’ll need to be computer literate to input data, to process and control the production of invoices and credit notes using SAP and Excel. You'll receive full training on our own software that we hold on site. 

To join us in this role you will ideally hold some experience working as an administrator. Knowledge or experience of fleet or transport would be advantageous but is not essential as training will be provided. This is busy role which requires you to work to defined timelines so you should be able to prioritise effectively to manage your daily workload. You will have great communication skills, be tenacious and resilient and above all have a desire to deliver results.

This role is extremely varied and vital to the entire warehouse and transport operation. You will be part of a team of 7 administrators supporting with administration tasks across our busy operation, so teamwork is essential in liaising effectively with colleagues on other shifts.
