Program administrator Jobs in Brant, ON

Are you a highly organized professional with a sharp eye for detail and a passion for technical analysis? Randstad Operational is seeking a dedicated Sales Administrator to join a leading and long-established bus distributor at their facility in Brantford, Ontario. This permanent, full-time position is ideal for an individual who thrives in a manufacturing & logistics environment and enjoys the complexity of coordinating high-value vehicle specifications. As a Sales Administrator, you will play a critical role in the heart of the business, acting as the primary administrative support for a team of road-based sales representatives who rely on your expertise to deliver accurate and timely quotes to their clients.

This Sales Administrator role is far more than simple data entry. You will be tasked with analyzing representative requests by consulting technical blueprints and assessing the feasibility of various vehicle customizations, such as specialized seat placements or door configurations. In the fast-paced manufacturing & logistics sector, your ability to maintain a strong sense of urgency while ensuring 100% accuracy is vital; a single error in confirming a feature can result in significant financial consequences. You will also be responsible for producing price requests, submitting external bids to municipalities, and coordinating work with various subcontractors.

Beyond the technical requirements, our client is looking for a "sunshine yellow" personality—someone who is positive, bubbly, and deeply customer-oriented toward the internal sales team. You will work closely with the Sales Director in a supportive, non-stressful office atmosphere characterized by low turnover and a sense of family closeness. Working with an experienced team, you will benefit from a comprehensive crossover period and extensive training to ensure your long-term success.
