Benjamin Edwards are recruiting for an organised, proactive and commercially minded Project Coordinator to join a successful and growing food business. This is a varied, fast-paced role sitting at the centre of the business, coordinating activity across Sales, Commercial, Operations, Buying and Production to ensure customer projects and product launches are delivered accurately and on time. As Project Coordinator will take ownership of projects from initial customer requirements through to production and final delivery, making sure everyone has the information, materials, specifications and artwork they need to keep things moving. The role would suit someone who is naturally organised, enjoys bringing different teams together and has a real can-do attitude.
