Transport Administrator fixed term contract ending March 2027

Company Description

Job Description

Mon-Fri plus Sat on a rota basis starting from around 10am (40 hrs pw)

Take your career to the next level with Sysco GB. We’re home to some of the UK’s leading food businesses including Brakes and Fresh Direct. Join us as a Transport Administrator and help our team to show everyone how it’s done. 

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 

The amazing facilities and working environment at our Aylesford site are not the only benefits of working here. 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.
