The successful candidate will join the team as an Events Coordinator joining a busy and close-knit team that supports the coordination and delivery of events and client orders across the UK.

The role is paying upto £28,000 depending on experience, with the opportunity to grow longer term within a successful and expanding business.

Duties Include:

Handling day-to-day orders via the online ordering system
Managing client calls and emails in a professional and timely manner
Coordinating deliveries, collections, drivers and external crews where required
Planning driver routes and job costings on a daily basis
Maintaining and updating internal systems for stock control, equipment locations and inventory tracking
Supporting with event coordination and ensuring all logistics are delivered smoothly
Producing H&S reports, Risk Assessments and Method Statements
Completing customer stock reports where required
Ensuring all costs and reporting are completed accurately for the finance team within deadlines
Supporting with general administration and wider business projects when needed
Liaising closely with warehouse teams to ensure orders and events are fulfilled correctly
Coordinating with suppliers, drivers and external contractors

Any experience within events, logistics, scheduling or operations would be a huge bonus
Strong customer service and communication skills are a must
Someone highly organised who enjoys multitasking and problem solving
A can-do attitude and willingness to get involved across different areas of the business
