Plan. Coordinate. Keep Operations Moving.
This isn’t a typical admin role. You’ll be at the heart of our operations — responsible for planning engineer workloads, coordinating appointments, managing KPIs and ensuring our services run smoothly, efficiently and compliantly.
If you enjoy problem-solving, working at pace, and being the person who keeps everything on track, this role is for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Workforce Planning & Scheduling
• Plan and optimise daily engineer routes using our automated scheduling system
• Balance workloads and support manpower planning with Team Leaders and Engineering Managers
• Monitor programme progress and performance against client KPIs
• React quickly to changes, urgent jobs and last-minute amendments
Customer & Client Coordination
• Act as a key point of contact for customers and clients
• Manage incoming calls and emails professionally and efficiently
• Book, reschedule and confirm appointments
• Ensure appointment notifications are issued within agreed timescales
Compliance & Performance Support
• Prepare and issue daily, weekly and monthly client reports
• Ensure compliance documentation is accurate and submitted on time
• Support adherence to gas and electrical safety legislation
• Maintain accurate system records to protect service standards
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone proactive and organised who enjoys responsibility.
• Previous experience in scheduling, coordination or administrative planning
• Confident managing diaries, workloads or field-based teams
• Strong organisational and time-management skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office and planning systems
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Experience in property services, facilities management or engineering coordination is advantageous — but not essential.
Working Hours
Monday to Friday
08:00 – 16:30 (37.5 hours per week)
No weekend work.
What You’ll Get in Return

• Company sick pay
• 22 days annual leave + bank holidays (increasing with service)
• Option to buy up to 3 additional annual leave days
• 1 paid volunteer day per year
• Private healthcare plan
• Employee Assistance Programme & mental wellbeing support
• Employee discounts & savings scheme
• Discounted gym membership
• Free on-site parking
