* Manage customer communication: handle enquiries, quotes, complaints and updates with professionalism and care
* Coordinate project documentation, RAMS, certificates and site access logistics
* Support recruitment and onboarding processes within the department, including admin training and performance management
* Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs), highlight process gaps and lead improvements to increase accuracy, efficiency and response times
* Prepare and present reports for senior management on admin output, customer service levels and team performance

* Proficient in Microsoft Office and comfortable using scheduling, CRM or service management systems
* Familiarity with industry standards (such as NSI, ISO or similar) would be an advantage
* Someone who thrives on structure but is adaptable when things change – and enjoys being the steady hand that keeps everything on track

Why join our team?

* A£31,000 to A£35,000 salary depending on experience
