Job description
Parts Advisor
Full-time | 40 hours per week | Monday–Friday (7:30am–5:00pm)
The Role
If you’re the kind of person who knows the satisfaction of matching the exact right part to the right problem — we should talk.
This role sits at the heart of the after-sales and service world. You’ll be the go-to person when a customer or engineer needs a part fast — identifying, sourcing, and organising everything with precision.
It’s a mix of customer service, stock control, and detective work — helping people solve problems quickly, keeping systems accurate, and making sure no-one’s left waiting for that one missing component that keeps everything moving.
What You’ll Be Doing
Helping customers and service technicians identify and order the right parts
Advising on pricing, lead times, and availability with honesty and clarity
Processing orders, returns, and warranties accurately through the system
Keeping stock levels where they need to be — supporting counts and audits
Sourcing special or out-of-stock parts from trusted suppliers
Liaising with the service desk to make sure jobs stay on schedule
Providing excellent customer service to both internal teams and external clients
Pitching in with the stores and dispatch team during busy periods
Handling the admin behind the scenes to keep everything compliant and tidy
What You’ll Need
Experience in parts, service, or warehouse environments — ideally automotive, machinery, or industrial
A knack for customer service — friendly, helpful, and solution-focused
Confident working independently and staying calm under pressure
Solid understanding of stock control or order-processing systems (SAP knowledge a bonus)
Good computer skills — Word, Excel, Outlook
Great communication and relationship-building skills
Sharp attention to detail — because near enough isn’t good enough
A hands-on, practical mindset — you like to get things done
Flexible, team-oriented approach and the drive to go the extra mile
Forklift licence would be handy, but training can be arranged if needed
What You Might Not Like
It’s a fast-paced role — some days will fly, others will feel full-tilt from the start
You’ll need to juggle customer queries, stock accuracy, and admin all at once
This isn’t just sitting at a desk — it’s hands-on, sometimes noisy, and occasionally muddy
What To Do Next
If you take pride in great service, love problem-solving, and get a buzz from keeping things organised — this could be your next move.
Apply now or drop a quick message if you’d like a chat first.
Because good parts people aren’t just order-takers — they’re problem-solvers, fixers, and the ones everyone relies on when the pressure’s on.
