Concrete Dispatch Coordinator
Location: Bellshill, Mossend Yard
Are you organised, customer-focused and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same?
We’re looking for a Concrete Dispatch Coordinator to join our team in Bellshill. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a modern approach to concrete production, using the latest technology to remotely operate and coordinate a network of concrete batching plants from one central location.
You’ll play a key role in ensuring our customers receive high-quality concrete, on time and with excellent service from the moment an order is placed through to delivery.
What you’ll be doing
Working closely with our Plant Supervisors, customers, drivers and wider operational teams, you’ll help keep our concrete network running smoothly.
Your responsibilities will include:
Remotely batching concrete across multiple plants using Robotix CCTV and IT technology
Monitoring the batching process to ensure concrete is produced safely, accurately and to the required quality standards
Working closely with Plant Supervisors to coordinate production and ensure sufficient materials are available
Managing incoming customer calls and emails professionally and efficiently
Creating, amending and confirming customer orders, including account and cash sales
Understanding plant production and vehicle capabilities to agree realistic delivery times with customers
Coordinating deliveries and helping find the best solution when customer requirements change
Keeping customers informed throughout their order and delivery journey
Building strong relationships with both internal and external customers
Monitoring the forward order book, forecast sales volumes and operational capacity
Supporting colleagues across the team during busy periods
Escalating customer or operational issues appropriately when required
Ensuring high standards of health and safety, environmental compliance, product quality and customer service are maintained at all times
What we’re looking for
You don’t necessarily need to have worked in concrete production before. We’re looking for someone with the right combination of customer service, organisation, communication and confidence using technology.
You’ll ideally have:
GCSE Grade 4/C or above, or equivalent, in Maths and English
Strong communication and customer service skills
Confidence speaking with customers over the telephone
Good IT skills and the ability to learn new systems and technology
Excellent attention to detail
The ability to manage multiple priorities in a busy environment
A proactive approach to problem-solving
The confidence to make decisions and agree realistic solutions with customers
A positive attitude and willingness to support the wider team
An interest in learning how concrete production, batching and dispatch operations work
Why this role?
This isn’t just about answering calls or processing orders. You’ll be at the heart of our concrete operations, using technology to coordinate production across multiple sites while helping ensure our customers receive the right product, at the right quality, at the right time.
If you enjoy working with customers, solving problems and keeping a busy operation moving, this could be a great opportunity to develop your career within the construction materials industry.
