About the role:

We’re looking for a highly organised and data-driven Operations Administrator, reporting into our Service Operations Specialist, to manage stock levels, procurement, and planning across four dynamic contractor-led projects. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, ever-evolving environment and enjoys working with data, planning and people, in a fast paced environment.

What you’ll be doing:

Operational Planning

• Supporting the in-house engineering team; coordinating materials, tools, and resources, and responding to field requests as needed.
• Managing stock levels both internally and externally, ensuring continuous availability, factoring in supplier lead times, usage trends, and business demand.

Stock & Procurement Management

• Raising, tracking, and reconciling stock orders, ensuring timely procurement and optimal inventory levels.
• Maintaining comprehensive and auditable records for all transactions, invoices, and reconciliations, including internal stock movements.
• Responding to stock-related enquiries from other teams, providing accurate information and resolving any discrepancies.
• Ensuring stock areas are maintained in an orderly, tidy, and accessible manner, adhering to safety and efficiency standards.

Supplier management

• Updating and maintaining supplier information, ensuring stock is sourced from approved vendors at competitive prices while adhering to procurement policies.
• Coordinating and overseeing internal and external stock movements, ensuring efficient allocation to projects/locations and minimising delays.

Data & Systems

• Compiling, analysing, and presenting weekly/monthly reports to track key operational metrics and support data-driven decision-making.
• Ensuring timely and accurate updates are recorded in the internal operating system and effectively communicated to relevant stakeholders.

What we need from you:

We’re looking for people who are ready for a fast paced environment, get their kicks out of problem solving and can balance getting today's stuff done, whilst building for the future. We’re looking for people with drive and natural curiosity – who want to do things differently. And do them brilliantly.

In addition;

• Strong Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables)
• Proven ability to maintain financial accuracy and compliance
• Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills with a data-driven approach
• Ability to manage multiple suppliers and shifting priorities
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and evolving processes
