• Identify delays, bottlenecks and recurring operational issues and escalate these proactively.
• Ensure completed jobs are administratively ready for invoicing as quickly as possible.
• Maintain organised records and ensure outstanding matters are followed through to resolution.

• Excellent organisational, planning and follow-up ability.
• Strong attention to detail and accuracy.

• Ability to work effectively in a busy, deadline-driven environment.
• Experience within a technical service, maintenance, field service, workshop, engineering, logistics or operational environment would be highly advantageous.
• Previous experience coordinating technicians, installers, service teams or field staff would be a strong advantage.

The Ideal Candidate

• You are an administrator first and foremost.
• You enjoy systems, schedules, checklists, accurate records and knowing exactly where every outstanding job stands. You are persistent with follow-ups, comfortable juggling competing priorities and able to keep technicians and jobs organised without losing sight of the detail.
