Are you a successful and experienced Business Administrator who loves to manage all aspects of a business office, and who thrives being the central cog in a business?
Are you frustrated because you’re not getting support, or being rewarded appropriately by your present employer?
Are you highly organised, able to handle high call volumes and CRM input, work in a fast-paced environment, and remain calm under pressure?
If this is you, and you want to join a supportive environment that recognises and appreciates your diligent efforts, then read on.
Our client is a fast-growing, independent pump distributor supplying customers across the UK. With a strong e-commerce presence and a growing portfolio of engineered solutions, they are entering an exciting phase of structured growth.
They are now seeking a competent, experienced, and highly organised Office Administrator to strengthen their internal operations and support continued expansion.
This is NOT an entry-level role. The successful applicant will play a key role in supporting sales, customer service, and daily operational workflow. They will be responsible for maintaining high standards of accuracy, communication, and organisation across multiple systems.
Speed, attention to detail, and ownership are essential.
Experience That Would Suit This Role
Previous experience in a fast-paced trade, industrial or operational environment would be highly advantageous. This could include construction, civils, utilities, drainage, plant hire, builders’ merchants, plumbing / heating merchants, engineering supplies, logistics, trade counter sales or similar sectors.
These industries often require strong organisation, quick communication, accurate order processing and the ability to manage multiple priorities at once – all of which are important in this role.
