Job description

HR Administrator - Transport & Logistics Sector

Thurrock | Fully On-Site | up to £35,000 | Permanent | Immediate Start

Looking to put your HR admin skills to good use in a fast-paced, no-two-days-the-same kind of environment? I'm working with a well-established company in the transport & logistics sector, based in Thurrock, who are looking for a confident and proactive HR Administrator to join their team. This is a permanent, full-time position with an immediate start available.

Important to note: This role is fully on-site with no option for remote or hybrid working. It's best suited to someone who drives or lives very locally, as the location isn't well-served by public transport.

What you'll be doing:

You'll be supporting a busy HR function with a mix of admin, compliance and health & safety tasks. The role covers everything from onboarding and recruitment checks, to supporting driver inductions, tracking training records and keeping on top of HSE compliance.

This role will suit someone who's highly organised, understands the importance of accuracy in HR and compliance, and is happy working in a lively environment.

Key bits of the job:

• Admin support across the full employee lifecycle
• Assisting with recruitment (especially for drivers) and compliance checks
• Onboarding and inductions, including for HGV drivers
• Managing training and certification records (CPC, ADR, HSE etc.)
• Supporting disciplinary and grievance processes
• Helping ensure the site stays compliant with safety procedures
• HR data reporting and general team support

You'll need:

• Previous HR admin experience (ideally in logistics, transport or industrial sectors)
• A good understanding of compliance & employment processes
• Comfortable working in a busy, fast-paced office
• HSE knowledge or qualifications - a definite plus!
• Strong attention to detail and confident communication skills
• A car (or to live very locally) - as getting to the site without one isn't really feasible

What's on offer:

• Up to £35,000 salary
• Private healthcare
• Cycle to work scheme
• On-site parking
• A vibrant, fast-paced office environment
• Monday to Friday, 08:30-17:30
