We're looking for an enthusiastic Hire & Sales Coordinator to join our dynamic Pumps & Power Services division who provide advice, servicing, maintenance and repair for generators, dewatering and sewerage pump applications. This includes a large range of hoses, settlement tanks and water processing solutions. As the first point of contact for our customers, you'll play a vital role in delivering exceptional service and driving our success. From managing hire requests to coordinating logistics and resolving queries, you'll be the go-to expert who keeps everything running smoothly. It's a challenging, rewarding role that offers real career progression in a business that's growing fast. If you're passionate about customer service, thrive under pressure, and want to be part of a supportive, ambitious team-this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

• Managing incoming and outgoing hires per day across a wide range of equipment
• Processing hire desk administration and handling customer and supplier queries with speed and accuracy
• Ensuring stock levels meet demand and identifying opportunities to maximise sales
• Coordinating with drivers and fitters to ensure timely deliveries and collections
• Resolving customer complaints and supplier issues with professionalism and efficiency

The ideal candidate will bring a mix of operational know-how, customer focus, and a proactive mindset, including:

• Ideally proven experience in a high-volume hire desk or a similar fast-paced customer service or administration role
• Excellent customer service skills with a commercial edge and a drive to increase sales
• Strong communication and organisational skills with great attention to detail
• Confident IT skills, including Outlook and Excel
• A team player who can also work independently and use their initiative
• Experience in the hire industry is a bonus-but if you've got the passion and willingness to learn, we'll support you every step of the way

You’ll be joining an industry leader that's growing and genuinely committed to your success. At GAP, we're proud to be the UK's leading equipment hire provider-supporting projects big and small across construction, infrastructure, events, and more. With nearly 200 locations nationwide and a wide range of specialist divisions, we offer exciting opportunities in everything from Plant and Tools to Lifting, Survey, Environmental, and Event Services.

As a family-run business with over 50 years of experience, we believe in doing things the right way.

That means:

• More investment in our equipment than anyone else in the industry, so you work with the best tools in the game
• Remaining fully independent, which lets us make agile, long-term decisions that support your success
• Offering real career growth, training, and development from day one
