ABOUT THE ROLE
You will act as the main point of contact for maintenance requests and client service enquiries, coordinating work with internal teams and contractors. You will manage both reactive and planned repairs for clients across the UK, arrange site access permits, and ensure all jobs are accurately logged and tracked. Responsibilities include updating stakeholders and client systems with the latest status, manually updating platforms where required, monitoring API performance, driving metrics, and developing expertise in client systems to identify and resolve risks or trends.

- A background / understanding of general engineering practices (a nice to have but not essential).
- A natural problem solver, who thrives under pressure. Can stay cool and calm in the face of adversity and can demonstrate empathy when overcoming challenges.
