  • Checking the availability of machines and operators and ensuring that order statuses are always up-to-date on our systems.
  • Coordinating with the engineering and transport teams to ensure that the correct machines are ready and available to be delivered to customer sites.
  • Dealing with customer queries, complaints, and damages.
  • Dealing with customers professionally and politely at all times, and maximising sales using your product knowledge.
  • Maintaining health and safety standards within the hire office.
  • Communicating effectively with other colleagues and providing a helpful and friendly point of contact for depot enquiries.

We would welcome applications for this Hire Desk Controller role from candidates with skills in MS Office, administration, customer service, plant, machinery, health & safety, telephony, email, order processing, query handling, or previous experience as a Hire Desk Controller.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Previous experience in a customer-focused role is a must, as is attention to detail when processing information into our hire system.
  • Experience working on a Hire Desk would be a distinct advantage.
  • A good knowledge of Microsoft packages and computer skills in general.
  • You must be outgoing and enthusiastic.
  • As this is a customer-facing role, excellent communication skills and a friendly approach are a must.
