Job description

Annual Salary £27,182, plus a great range of benefits

When you join Brakes, you’ll become part of a top UK food business. You’ll also become part of Sysco – the world's leading foodservice company. We’re growing across the country and aiming to be the absolute best in our industry. So join us in Tamworth as a Transport Administrator and take your career to the next level.

A satisfying role

As a Transport Administrator, it’ll be your organisational skills and administrative support that helps to keep our transport operation moving. Making a real difference to all kinds of teams, you’ll be the key link between our drivers and our systems – carrying out pre-shift and de-briefs with our drivers, raising purchase orders and inputting key data for site KPIs, reporting and compliance. Deadlines are tight, but it’s the chance to thrive in a role where no two shifts are the same.

What you bring to the mix

A naturally organised person who prides themselves on their attention to detail, you have everything it takes to succeed with Sysco:

significant experience using software including Microsoft Office and SAP (or other WMS)

the ability to prioritise work with minimal supervision

problem-solving skills and the confidence to communicate any issues

the ability to build relationships with all kinds of people

ideally, experience in a similar transport or logistics admin role – but this isn’t essential.

Bags of benefits

We take care of our people. On our team, you’ll be able to take your pick from everything from a pension scheme and generous holiday to family-friendly flexibility and ongoing training. You’ll get fantastic discounts on our delicious products too.
