About the Role
As an Operations Coordinator, you will support the end-to-end fulfilment of aftermarket spare parts orders, helping move customer requirements efficiently from order through picking, dispatch and collection. You will monitor order progress, coordinate with internal teams, communicate updates to customers and help ensure urgent requirements are prioritised effectively.
About NOV

Why This Role Matters
Spare parts are often required when customers need them most, making effective prioritisation and communication critical. Your contribution will help keep orders moving, provide customers with clear and timely updates and support the team in achieving delivery and monthly performance targets.
