We are a well-established tool hire company with over 25 years of experience, supplying plant machinery and tool hire services, as well as providing professional tool repairs. We are looking for a motivated Hire Desk Controller to join our busy team.
About the Role
As a Hire Desk Controller, you will be the first point of contact for our customers, helping them with hire enquiries, bookings, and general support. This is a varied, customer-facing role.

Communicating with customers regarding deliveries, collections, and availability.
Assisting with general hire desk administration. Working closely with the workshop and transport teams to ensure smooth day-to-day operations.
Skills & Experience
We're looking for someone with:
Good communication and customer service skills.
Good organisational and problem-solving abilities.
Basic computer skills (full training provided).
A basic understanding of plant machinery, tools, or mechanics (preferred but not essential).
The ability to work well as part of a team.
The confidence to work independently when required. A positive attitude and willingness to learn.
What We Offer
Full training across all aspects of the business.
A varied and rewarding customer-facing role.
On-site free parking.
The opportunity to join an established company with over 25 years of industry experience.
A supportive and friendly working environment.
If you enjoy working with people, solving problems, and being part of a hardworking team, we'd love to hear from you.
