About our client

The role
As maintenance coordinator, you'll be the central point of contact for incoming work orders, managing everything from initial logging through to completion.

- Scheduling and assigning jobs to in-house engineers or external contractors based on priority, location, and skill set
- Monitoring active jobs across trades to keep them on track and within agreed timescales
- Keeping accurate records of job notes, materials used, and completion times
- Processing contractor invoices and checking them against work orders
Skills and experience
Essential
- Previous experience in a coordination, administrative, or customer service role
- Experience working alongside engineers or tradespeople across areas such as plumbing, electrical, roofing, or carpentry, with a general understanding of terminology, timeframes, and processes (in-depth technical knowledge isn't required)
- Strong organisational and multitasking skills with excellent written and verbal communication
Desirable
- Experience gained within property management, facilities management, or construction
