Full time coordinator - £18,900 p.a.
Location: working from a combination of home and serviced office with regular face-to-face meetings. Hours: 40 hours per week, but may need some flexibility around hours if specific requirements demand it (i.e. last minute event requirements).
Pro2 Automotive Engineering (https://www.pro-two.com), a Kent based automotive experiential company, is recruiting a full time event coordinator.
Pro2 supports a range of vehicle manufacturers with event consultancy and professional drivers. We started in 2007 and have grown over the years to support different types of customer facing events such as vehicle launches and test drive programmes.
We provide ideas to help vehicle manufacturers showcase their vehicles in the best way possible and help their customers understand new technology that is fast becoming the differentiator between manufacturers. We are members of the SMMT (Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders) and contribute to the SMMT EV Working Group which helps us stay aware of what the industry is doing in the Ultra-Low Emissions sector.
We have a team of freelance professional drivers who are some of the best, if not the best, in the industry, with experience in Motorsport and Engineering from F1 to Vehicle Development.
With freelance team members and clients located all over the UK and indeed the world, it is the job of the coordinator to bring all of this together behind-the-scenes. The coordinator will be customer facing and hands on with each account.
As a small owner-managed business, the coordinator will be comfortable working in a close-knit team and with providing direct support to the owner. The coordinator will be involved in most company activities and be the main conduit between the drive team and customers.
The coordinator will use our own proprietary resource booking platform
The candidate will be a strong process-driven individual with superior organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail. They will be a confident communicator, both written and verbally, and be able to demonstrate maturity and be assertive when dealing with some strong personalities. They should have the ability to take responsibility for their varied and deadline-driven workload, particularly when remote working. They are likely to have worked previously in an event management, senior administrative or client account role where their resourcefulness was a valued quality.

Tasks include:
• Liaising with clients to understand event details
• Ensuring event requirements are met with the right driver resources
• Managing any last minute changes to driver bookings
• Communicating resource bookings to clients
• Supporting event staff with event information
• Ensuring that freelance driver information is kept up to date
• Liaising with accounts to support the invoicing process

The coordinator needs to have good computer and internet skills and working knowledge of the Microsoft packages. They will be au-fait with file sharing and storage platforms and comfortable working with straightforward website content management systems. Basic knowledge of WordPress websites as well as SAGE accounting software will be an advantage.
We are looking for someone who can become a long-standing, loyal lynchpin of the company. Are you a self-starter who doesn’t wait to be told what to do? Are you comfortable talking through event details with a client one minute and tracking down a hard-to-contact driver to support a last minute request the next? Have you been looking for a role where you will make a real difference and be valued for what you do?
