Part Time Production Administrator

Peterborough | Part-time | On-site
Perfect for someone who loves organisation and the smell of a busy workshop.

The Role

If you’re the kind of person who can switch from “spreadsheet gremlin” to “warehouse whisperer” without batting an eyelid, this one will suit you down to the steel-toe boots.

This role lives in that sweet spot between admin and the workshop floor. You’ll be supporting the Production Manager, keeping orders in line, stock flowing, materials booked in and out, and the place running smoother than a freshly oiled machine. One minute you’re chasing a supplier, the next you’re checking stock levels or updating Dynamics 365.

If you like variety, structure, and environments where hi-vis is basically a fashion statement — you’ll thrive here.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Updating and maintaining data on Dynamics 365 (accuracy is your love language)

• Placing orders with suppliers and making sure materials arrive when they’re meant to

• Booking in stock, receipting materials, and keeping records tidy

• Booking out stock to production so nothing “mysteriously disappears”

• Organising deliveries, collections, paint shop orders and the general flow of goods

• Supporting stock takes

• Helping document health & safety processes, risk assessments, and inspections

• Keeping the office organised, efficient, and functioning like a well-behaved adult

• Providing paperwork and information to Finance when needed

• Investigating any odd/misleading information in the system

• Following processes like your life depends on it (because production timelines kind of do)

What You’ll Need

• Experience in admin (3 years+ ideally)

• Strong keyboard skills — you type like you mean it

• Confident with Word, Excel, Outlook

• Experience with ERP systems (Dynamics 365 is a lovely bonus)

• Clear, confident communication

• A head that doesn’t fall off under pressure

• Initiative, methodical thinking, and the ability to manage competing tasks

• A strong “can-do, get-it-done” attitude

• Comfort working in a workshop/manufacturing environment — safety boots & hi-vis required

• A willingness to walk between the office and the workshop… often

What You Might Not Like

• This is not a sit-in-a-quiet-corner-and-answer-emails-all-day job

• You will be around machinery, materials, paint shop orders, and warehouse movement

• You’ll need to be comfortable wearing PPE (hi-vis, safety boots… the whole chic look)

• Dynamics 365 is your best friend — or worst enemy if you’re sloppy

• Suppliers… sometimes they test your patience

• Stock takes — enough said
