Commercial Support Administrator – Quotations & Purchasing

Great with quotations, confident with customers and happiest when you’re keeping everything organised?

We’re recruiting a Commercial Support Administrator for an established manufacturing business in Wythenshawe. This is a varied role where you’ll support quotations, purchasing and day-to-day office activities, working with colleagues across the business to keep things moving.

If you’ve helped prepare quotations, followed up supplier enquiries or supported a busy commercial team, we’d love to hear from you.

The role

You’ll be an important link between colleagues, customers and suppliers, making sure information is accurate, queries are answered and tasks are followed through. Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting the preparation and processing of quotations, checking information carefully for accuracy.
• Assisting with purchase orders and maintaining accurate records.
• Liaising with suppliers about order queries, delivery dates and late deliveries.
• Monitoring the supply chain inbox and responding to enquiries.
• Handling customer and supplier queries by telephone and email.
• Providing administrative support across departments and helping the office run smoothly.

• The ability to prioritise a varied workload and see tasks through.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Word and Excel.
• A proactive, practical approach and a willingness to help where needed.
• The confidence to work independently while being a supportive team member.

Experience in manufacturing, engineering or a similar commercial environment would be useful, although it isn’t essential. Training will be provided on the company’s systems and processes, with opportunities to develop your knowledge of purchasing and finance.

What’s on offer?

• £25,000–£30,000 salary , depending on experience.
