Our team is the best in the industry - is it time for you to join us?

The Role:

Our nationwide Plant and Tool division hires a range of equipment including diggers, dumpers and small hand tools to companies within the construction, utilities and infrastructure sectors.

As the first point of contact at our depots, Hire & Sales Coordinators (HSC) play a pivotal role in driving our business' success, by building strong customer relationships, understanding their hire needs and ensuring we can meet them. The Mobile Hire & Sales Coordinator will provide holiday, absence and staff shortage cover at depots within the South East region and cover in the absence of the depot General Managers. This is a challenging, fast paced and rewarding role that provides a fantastic platform to grow and progress within GAP Group.

A typical day for a Regional HSC will include:

• Processing all hire desk administration including customer and supplier queries
• Managing approx. 40-50 incoming and outgoing hires per day
• Ensuring sufficient stock levels to meet customer demand and maximise sales opportunities
• Load checking vehicles and working effectively with the depot team of drivers and fitters
• Resolving customer complaints and supplier issues efficiently

Successful applicants should demonstrate the following:

• Previous experience of working within a high-volume hire desk role is essential
• Excellent customer service skills with a focus on increasing sales
• Effective communicator with strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Proficient IT skills with working knowledge of MS Office including Outlook and Excel
• Strong team player with the ability to work to own initiative
• Full driving licence
• Although a plant & tool hire background would be great, as long as you have a proven passion for customer service and the drive to learn we can help with the rest.

*Please note as this is a regional position covering the London region it will involve frequent travel and overnight stays.*
