We’re looking for a Hire Administrator to join our Hire Operations Team  in Oldbury. Join a fantastic, friendly team, deliver outstanding customer service, and make a big impact in a key part of our business.


What will I be doing?


As a Hire Administrator in our busy Hire Support Centre, you’ll provide top-notch customer service branches, suppliers and key stake holders, as well as support branches across our network. You’ll also build strong relationships with our wider support teams to meet our service level commitments.

  • Review the Hire Fleet Dashboards to identify key actions, managing assets as needed to support high-priority branches. Ensure hire targets and utilisation goals are met.
  •  Actively move assets to maintain a smooth flow of hire equipment nationwide, focusing on cost-efficient transport.
  •  Lead fortnightly Regional Stock calls, updating cluster leads and Hire Operations Managers on asset movement plans to boost utilisation and sales revenue.
  •  Plan and forecast for busy and seasonal periods, ensuring branches can meet customer demands. Use data to allocate seasonal assets effectively and maximise revenue.
  •  Keep asset safety and compliance records up to date, ensuring defects are reported and communicated to relevant parties, such as local authorities, to meet legal requirements.
  •  Work with the wider Hire network and colleagues to deliver fleet management priorities, including attending Hire Manager meetings and weekly virtual stock meetings.
  •  Produce daily and weekly reports, such as General Stock, Fleet Optimisation, Tools on Hire, Untested, and Repair Status Reports.
  •  Handle branch requests for Non-Mech spending, tracking the regional budget and ensuring spending stays within targets. Generate monthly budget reports in collaboration with the finance team


 Does this sound like you?

  •  Positive, resilient, and motivated to deliver great results in a fast-paced environment.
  •  Passionate about customer service, with the ability to see things from the customer’s perspective.
  •  Calm and composed when handling high call volumes.
