- Monitor the Building Management Systems and Lift Monitoring System, reacting as appropriate to any alerts within agreed timescales.
- Answer, input and allocate service requests accurately and in a timely manner and direct the appropriate personnel or sub-contractor to undertake tasks required.
- Operate a computer-based facilities management database (currently Planon) monitoring all reactive work and planned maintenance.
- In line with the Service Level Agreements, make decisions regarding service delivery and the priority of work, monitoring and escalating issues where appropriate.
