We share a genuine commitment to putting customers first by providing on-time and reliable delivery of goods and equipment. Every member of our team has an important role to play in maintaining our standards and driving the business forward.

We have an opening for a Logistic Administrator to support the Kirkwall transport office. This is an interesting and varied customer-facing position where you will be part of the local team, assisting customers with their freight and transport requirements and processing jobs through our traffic systems.

The role is 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday, 9:00am to 5:00pm, which will provide support during our busier periods and help maintain cover during lunch breaks. Additional hours, including weekend working, may be required from time to time to provide holiday and absence cover.

Key duties will include:

• Administrative functions relating to daily operations
• Planning and data input
• Assisting the traffic team when required
• Dealing with customer enquiries

System training will be provided; however, we are looking for a team player with good IT and communication skills and, ideally, some experience within the freight or haulage sector.
