Workshop Receptionist

At Babcock, our Workshop Receptionists provide an extremely high level of administrative support to our workshop-based operational management teams. Our dedicated workshops operate right at the heart of our customers’ operation; taking responsibility for all Ground Support Equipment (GSE) repair and maintenance activities.

This role is varied and busy – inputting data; processing job-cards; raising purchase order numbers; and managing a front of house reception, are just some of the things you’ll be responsible for. This role is ideal for someone who already has demonstrable administration experience. It would be beneficial, but not essential, if this experience has been gained from working within a vehicle workshop environment as this will give you an understanding of the type of work we do and the environments we work in. What’s just as important however is your ability to learn new tasks quickly and efficiently, and your ability to multi-task. Competent IT skills across the full MS Office suite, excellent communication skills and a confident, friendly and approachable manner are also needed.

This role also requires applicants to have a full UK driving License and the flexibilty to work on a 4 on and 4 off shift rotation covering the working hours of 7am – 7pm.

Working across a range of sectors and environments, Babcock delivers critical resilience solutions for diverse organisations. In places like airports; for the emergency services; within the defence and utilities sectors; we ensure that complex operations have the infrastructure to look after their customers and their people.

Our success depends, without exception, on the quality of our teams. Across every level of our business, we recruit individuals who understand and appreciate exactly how vital Babcock’s services are. People who never compromise on health and safety; who respect and challenge each other; and who strive to deliver the very best for our customers.

People who deliver resilience; people who can be resilient.
