Sales Administrator / Order Support Coordinator

About the Role

World Heat Cylinders Ltd is looking to recruit a Sales Administrator / Order Support Coordinator to support our growing sales and operations team from our site in Dukinfield.

This is a key administrative and coordination role within the business, supporting the smooth handling of customer enquiries, domestic orders, delivery updates, returns, NCRs, warranty claims, CRM management and internal communication.

The role is designed to help improve organisation across the sales and order process, while allowing the internal sales team to focus on enquiries, quotations, customer relationships and new business opportunities.

You will work closely with the Business Development Manager, National Sales Manager, Technical Sales team, Quality, Accounts, Production and our domestic manufacturing team.

This is not a technical sales role. However, it is an important support role that will help improve customer service, internal communication and the flow of work from enquiry through to order, delivery and aftercare.

Sending out returns questionnaires where applicable.

Helping arrange collections where products or parts need to come back for inspection or testing.

Logging and tracking open NCRs, warranty claims and returns.

Liaising with Quality, Sales, Production and other internal teams.

Helping ensure customers are kept updated throughout the process.

OEM, Partner and Key Account Support

You will also provide administrative support for OEM, partner and key account activity, including orders, returns, warranty claims and spare parts.

This will include:

Supporting the administration of agreed OEM, partner and key account orders.

Maintaining accurate records of orders, warranty claims, parts requirements and customer communications.

Helping process repeat or agreed order requirements once the specification and commercial details are confirmed.

Tracking parts, returns and warranty requests through the correct internal process.

Escalating any technical, pricing, specification or non\-standard queries to the relevant sales or technical owner.
