The Role
We are looking for an organised and detail-focused Operational Administration Assistant to support our Hazardous Waste Operations team.
You will ensure completed jobs are accurately recorded, supported by the correct documentation and ready for invoicing. Working closely with operations, sales, finance, suppliers, and third-party contractors, you will help maintain accurate records, resolve missing information, and support a prompt month-end process.
This role requires strong attention to detail, confidence working with financial and compliance documentation, and the ability to follow issues through to resolution.

As Operational Administration Assistant, you will:
- Review completed jobs to ensure they are ready for invoicing within seven days of completion wherever possible.
- Confirm that customer-specific, operational, and financial information has been recorded accurately.
- Check that each job has the required supporting paperwork attached.
- Manage the checking and recording of Duty of Care documentation, including waste consignment notes received from suppliers and third parties.
- Chase missing paperwork and confirmation of completed work, particularly ahead of month-end.
- Identify discrepancies or incomplete information and escalate issues to the Hazardous Waste Team Leader or Finance team.
- Maintain accurate copies, records, and supporting documentation in line with company procedures.
- Work with sales and operations to ensure administrative support meets the needs of the business.
- Support the development and maintenance of controls that improve the accuracy and speed of order processing and invoicing.
- Produce operational and management information reports when required.
- Support data cleansing and other activities required to improve reporting accuracy.
- Provide administrative support to the supply chain and assist with system training for new employees.
- Answer incoming telephone calls and manage daily post when required.
- Provide cover for other administration functions across the business.
- Complete other reasonable duties delegated by the Technical Director.
