Arden Personnel is recruiting a Logistics & Shipping Administrator for our client, an established manufacturer in Redditch, on a 12-month contract with an immediate start. You'll sit at the heart of the Customer Support & Sales team, owning dispatch and shipping admin across the company's two UK sites and keeping customers updated every step of the way.
It's a hands-on, varied role for someone who likes to take ownership and get things done — with genuine room to develop into ERP order entry and wider customer support over the contract.

Resolve logistics issues — late deliveries, missing parcels, courier disputes and shipment-related complaints
Keep customers updated with accurate, up-to-date tracking information
Maintain the Excel pricebook with current product codes and pricing, ready for upload to the ERP system
Manage documents for the Customer Support & Sales, IS and sales teams — making sure policy documents and insurance certificates are correctly filed and in date
Work across sales, customer service, finance and operations to gather information, resolve issues and complete requests
You'll thrive here if
You take ownership and drive tasks to completion without needing to be chased
You're confident in Excel and comfortable moving between multiple systems
You stay organised and calm juggling several things at once
You're proactive about building working relationships across teams
You pick up new tools and processes quickly
What you'll need
Essential

Strong Excel skills — formulas, formatting, filtering, pivot tables, lookups, and working with large data sets
Customer-focused communication to resolve delivery and shipment issues
Strong written and verbal communication
Organised and reliable, able to manage multiple tasks at once
