Your new company

Hays is very proud to work exclusively with this company and many of the people we place there as temps have gone on to be offered a permanent job in the team. This is a newly created position that will start off as a temp but with plans for the successful applicant to become a permanent member of the team by the end of the summer.

Your new role

Your job will be to take on the admin tasks of the commercial team to free them up to focus on more technical work. You'll be responsible for putting orders on the system (Sage), updating the orders with changes, closing them off when completed. You'll add new delivery sites to the system and perform simple cost calculations for new orders or enquiries using Excel.

You might also take notes at meetings, cover reception when your colleagues are on holiday and support the commercial team with any other admin tasks that might pop up from time to time.
You'll work in their offices Monday to Friday, 37.5 hours per week, 8.30-5 with 1 hour for lunch. There's plenty of parking on site but it's not easily reached by public transport.

What you'll need to succeed

Prior experience of working in production or commercial admin jobs or in the construction sector would be very advantageous. If you've used Sage, Word and Excel, please make sure that this is on your CV as it will be very helpful for my client to know that too.

This is a very busy team, so being able to work independently is important, as well as having good communication skills.
Please note - you will start off as a temp before securing the permanent job.

What you'll get in return

In return, you'll work in a very interesting job as a key part of a business-critical team. The strong salary is reflective of the responsibility you'll have and, I know this sounds really superficial, but you'll work in lovely, modern offices with plenty of parking, so you won't have to pay to park at work. When you go permanent, you get an excellent benefits plan including 26 days holiday with bank holidays on top, a company bonus, private healthcare and a whole other raft of benefits.
