- Updating customer and supplier portals
- Supporting equipment mobilisations alongside the Equipment Maintenance Manager
- Building effective relationships with customers, account managers, sales teams, engineers, suppliers and contractors
- Ensuring safety, compliance, cost control and customer service remain central to all activity
You’ll ideally have:
- Previous experience in an administration, coordination or maintenance-support role
- Experience planning and organising maintenance tasks or engineering workloads
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
- A proactive approach to following up outstanding work and resolving problems
- Excellent customer service and communication skills
- Strong attention to detail and a high level of data-entry accuracy
- Confidence using Microsoft Office and CRM, ERP or maintenance-management systems
- The ability to communicate clearly with customers, engineers, suppliers and colleagues at all levels
