  • Handle appointment changes, cancellations and customer-driven adjustments with accuracy and care.
  • Provide responsive support to the field throughout the day, including live queries and problem solving.
  • Communicate clearly with customers, engineers and internal teams to ensure transparency and smooth delivery.
  • Take ownership of tasks end-to-end, ensuring every action supports efficiency, utilisation and customer experience.
  • Contribute ideas to improve our scheduling, productivity and operational processes.
What You'll Need
  • A passion for delivering great customer and field team experience through clear communication.
  • Strong organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise in a fast-moving environment.
  • A problem-solving mindset, able to stay calm and make good decisions when plans change.
  • Confidence working with data and multiple systems (we'll teach you our in-house tools).
  • Flexibility, adaptability and the willingness to get stuck in.
  • A collaborative approach; you enjoy being part of a team working toward shared goals.
