Contracts Administrator – Derby – 22/028

The Opportunity

Our Derby office is part of the Avonside Group – the UK’s largest service provider primarily to the new-build housing sector. Alongside our Roofing division we have our Energy, Renewables and Plumbing Divisions, employing over 400 people across almost 40 different sites across the UK.

We are currently implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) called NetSuite to allow us to more efficiently and effectively manage our finance, procurement and operations functions. This brings with it some changes to the way in which we will operate in our branches and our head office functions.

We are therefore looking for an individual to join us in our Derby flat roofing branch to add additional support to our existing teams as we introduce and embed the new system and ways of working. You will report directly to our Branch Manager and support in the operational data entry and administration tasks around the new NetSuite system. You will be central to the maintenance of properly functioning business units and will work alongside our Contracts Managers, Branch Managers and regional finance teams.
