The Opportunity

We're on the lookout for a proactive and organised Operations Coordinator to join our team. This key role sits at the heart of our day-to-day branch operations, coordinating drivers and delivery schedules, managing inventory and stocktakes, and keeping purchase orders, invoicing and site administration accurate and on time. You'll be the go-to person connecting drivers, internal teams and back-end systems, helping the branch deliver safe, efficient outcomes to a consistently high standard of operational excellence. Please note, availability for an early start on Mondays is a must.

• Liaise with drivers and internal teams, acting as the first point of contact to ensure timely, compliant job execution and resolve queries.
• Manage driver payments, purchase orders, receipting, and reconciliations in line with company policies.
• Support driver training and onboarding.
• Manage inventory and stocktakes — tracking, reporting, and investigating and resolving discrepancies.
• Handle invoicing and contract administration, including raising, reviewing, and correcting invoices and resolving contract errors.
• Provide administrative and operational support to the site team, covering order placement, back-end system updates, and continuous improvement initiatives to drive safety and performance.
• Work closely with council contacts, looking after their data and database — including updating, maintaining, and auditing council records to ensure accuracy.

About You

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to resolve problems effectively.
• Basic bookkeeping/payroll experience or knowledge is an advantage.
• Good computer skills, including experience with Excel, and comfortable with UKG (Kronos) or similar workforce management software (desirable but not essential).
• Proven ability to stay agile in a fast-paced environment with conflicting deadlines.
• Comfortable managing inventory, stocktakes, and reconciliation processes, and confident raising and managing purchase orders and invoices with strong attention to detail.
• A safety-first mindset with genuine enthusiasm for driving continuous improvement.
• Must be available for an early start on Mondays.
