Ethero is recruiting a Temporary Project Administrator to join the Major Projects team of a well-established organisation at its distribution hub in Uttoxeter.

This is a key administrative role supporting a busy seasonal project. You will help coordinate deliveries, maintain accurate system records and communicate with drivers, third-party transport providers and internal departments.

Your work will play an important part in ensuring assets are dispatched, tracked and delivered smoothly and on time throughout the Christmas project period. 

Important: Due to the location of the site and very limited public transport links, applicants must have their own reliable mode of transport to travel to and from work.

• Creating purchase orders
• Dispatching loads and preparing proof of delivery paperwork
• Updating and maintaining information within Microsoft Business Central
• Maintaining accurate project spreadsheets
• Monitoring route changes and making the necessary system adjustments
• Monitoring internal communication channels and escalating delivery issues
• Collating and recording proof of delivery information
• Inputting documentation received from third-party hauliers
• Chasing transport providers for missing or outstanding paperwork

Full training on Microsoft Business Central will be provided. 

• Liaising with warehouse, asset management and project management teams
• Helping to resolve operational challenges as they arise
• Building positive working relationships with third-party providers
• Communicating with internal teams to resolve system errors
• Escalating issues promptly to help keep the project on schedule

The successful applicant will need:

• Strong computer skills, including previous experience using Microsoft Office
• Good administrative and data-entry skills
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage several tasks at once
• The ability to prioritise work and meet deadlines
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• The ability to remain calm and effective in a busy, fast-paced environment
• A proactive, conscientious and analytical approach to work
• Good attention to detail and a commitment to maintaining accurate records
• Their own reliable mode of transport due to the site’s limited public transport connections.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced administrator to become involved in a busy, fast-moving logistics project. The role would suit someone who enjoys working with different departments, solving day-to-day problems and keeping important information accurate and up to date.

Apply through Ethero with an up-to-date CV that clearly demonstrates your relevant administration, Microsoft Office, communication and organisational experience.
