Whether you're experienced or just starting out, if you've got the work ethic and the IT skills, read on. The rest can be taught.

A well-established Leicester-based manufacturer is looking for a Production Administrator to sit at the heart of its workshop operation.

This is a key production support role. You'll be the link between the production team, stores, procurement and management, keeping documentation, materials and information moving so the workshop always has what it needs, when it needs it. Some of it may be new to you, and that's fine, full training is given. It's real work in a busy environment, part desk, part shop floor, and no two days are the same.

• Printing, compiling and distributing production packs (drawings, material and cutting lists) to the production team
• Maintaining material traceability, tying every material used back to the right purchase order for audit compliance
• Using an ERP or procurement system to raise POs, onboard suppliers and monitor live orders
• Running goods-in: checking deliveries, labelling by job number and making sure stock is stored and available
• Supporting production scheduling, tracking job progress and flagging shortfalls to the Production Manager
• Preparing items for external finishing: tagging, labelling and palletising ready for collection
• Keeping all production documentation accurately recorded and filed

• A proper work ethic and the drive to learn and take on more
• Confident on Excel and Word
• Good admin and data entry with real accuracy
• Practical and hands‑on, happy in a workshop with a physical element (manual handling, moving stock)
• Organised, methodical and unflappable under deadline

A bonus, but not essential (full training given): experience in manufacturing, production or a workshop; ERP or procurement systems; basic AutoCAD.

Monday to Thursday 8am to 5pm, Friday 8am to 4pm. Permanent.
