Sales Administrator

Who We Are

We are a locally owned Waste Management and Recycling company with over 30 years of industry experience. We provide sustainable waste and recycling solutions across a diverse range of sectors and are committed to maintaining a safe, supportive and friendly workplace.

We are looking for an experienced Sales Administrator who can provide high-level administrative support to our sales team and take ownership of a broad range of sales, customer and business support activities.

This is not a role for someone who needs constant direction. We are looking for a self-starter with initiative who can work autonomously, identify what needs to be done and follow tasks through to completion.

Ideally, you will bring at least 4-5 years of relevant administration, sales support, tender or business support experience and be confident working across everything from customer accounts and data management through to presentations, tenders and submissions.

• Provide day-to-day administrative support to the sales team

• Process new customer accounts, sales enquiries, quotes and associated documentation

• Conduct customer credit checks and assist with account applications and credit limits

• Maintain, review and clean customer and sales data to ensure records are accurate and up to date

• Prepare and format professional presentations, reports and sales documentation

• Assist with tenders, proposals and submissions, including formatting, proofreading and coordinating supporting information

• Where experience allows, assist with drafting and writing tender responses

• Compile information and documentation to put submissions together from start to finish

• Review and clean up existing tender and proposal documentation to ensure it is professional, accurate and consistent

• Assist with invoicing, purchase orders and general sales administration

• Respond to customer enquiries promptly and professionally

• Coordinate information between customers, Sales, Operations and Management

• Proactively follow up outstanding information, documentation and actions

• Take ownership of assigned tasks and ensure they are followed through to completion

We are looking for someone who is experienced, capable and confident working independently.

You will ideally have:

• Approximately 4-5 years experience in sales administration, executive/business support, tender administration or a similar role

• Strong initiative and the ability to work autonomously without constant supervision

• A demonstrated ability to take ownership and follow tasks through to completion

• Strong written communication and document preparation skills

• Experience preparing presentations, reports, proposals or submissions

• Tender writing or tender coordination experience would be highly regarded

• Strong data management skills and excellent attention to detail

• Confidence communicating with customers, management and internal stakeholders

• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Word, Excel and PowerPoint

• Excellent organisation and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities

• A practical, solutions-focused approach and willingness to get things done

• The ability to handle confidential customer and financial information appropriately

Experience within the waste, recycling, transport, logistics or similar operational industry would be advantageous but is not essential.

If you are an experienced administrator who enjoys taking ownership, working autonomously and supporting a busy sales function, we would like to hear from you.

Please submit your resume, including at least two contactable referees.
