DP World is looking for a proactive and organised Business Support Administrator to provide essential administrative and operational support at its DC4 facility in Minworth, Birmingham. This is an opportunity to play a key role in supporting the smooth running of the site, maintaining accurate business data and documentation, and ensuring effective coordination across the operation.
Working closely with the Plant Manager and wider operational teams, you'll take ownership of a varied range of administrative responsibilities, from document control and reporting to inventory administration and site coordination. This is a hands-on role requiring someone who is confident working independently, managing competing priorities and engaging with colleagues across the warehouse and wider business.
How you will contribute
- Provide day-to-day administrative support to the site, ensuring business documentation, records and trackers are maintained accurately and kept up to date.
- Manage and prepare ERF requests, maintain tracker reports and support effective document control across the operation.
- Coordinate the business banked hours process, including preparing stand-down and stand-up notices, conducting briefings and tracking hours in line with company procedures.
- Prepare and coordinate Monthly Business Reviews (MBR), Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR) and S&OP meetings, maintaining action trackers and ensuring follow-up actions are completed.
- Manage local supplier relationships, consumable orders and general purchasing administration.
- Act as a central point of contact for business data and reporting, compiling weekly and monthly plant scorecards and coordinating review schedules.
- Collect and prepare plant roll call information and support month-end reporting, including P&L data inputs.
- Support SAP invoice administration, including MIR5 reporting and goods receipt (GR) order management.
- Monitor and report on the performance of external service providers against agreed KPIs.
- Support front-of-house activities, welcoming visitors, coordinating site tours and managing incoming deliveries.
- Work closely with operational and warehouse teams, providing hands-on support where required to ensure the smooth running of the facility.
What you will bring
- Previous experience in an administrative or business support role, ideally within a manufacturing, production, logistics, warehousing or wider operational environment.
- Experience in document control and maintaining accurate business records, trackers and reports would be highly advantageous.
- Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel, with the ability to manage data, produce reports and maintain accurate records.
- Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently and adapt to changing demands.
- A proactive and hands-on approach, with the confidence to take ownership of tasks, identify issues and find solutions without needing constant direction.
- Confident communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build relationships and work effectively with colleagues at all levels.
- Comfortable working in an operational environment and confident spending time on the warehouse floor when required, rather than being solely office-based.
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy, confidentiality and professional standards.
- A degree is not required; practical experience, a strong administrative skill set and the right attitude are more important.
- A full UK driving licence would be advantageous due to the site's location and limited public transport links, although candidates living locally may be able to commute without one.
