This role plays a key part in supporting the delivery of high-quality fleet transport services across the county.

As a first point of contact for workshop enquiries, your role will involve:

• The ability to communicate clearly with customers, colleagues and suppliers and taking ownership of enquiries.


• Maintaining accurate records and data across different systems, ensuring compliance.   


• Supporting financial processing, purchasing, invoicing and recharging activities to add value.

You’ll be a clear communicator with a keen eye for detail, able to handle enquiries, update records, support routine financial processes and use IT systems confidently to keep information accurate and up to date. A flexible and positive approach will be important, along with the ability to manage your own workload, support colleagues and respond effectively to the changing priorities of a workshop environment.

If you’re self-motivated, customer-focused and keen to develop your skills within Hampshire Transport Management, we’d welcome your application.
