You’ll play a key role in ensuring the smooth running of operations by managing helpdesk requests, scheduling planned maintenance (PPMs), raising and closing jobs on client systems (QFM and CBRE), and liaising with engineers and subcontractors.
Your responsibilities will include:

  • Managing job requests and updates via QFM systems
  • Assigning tasks to engineers and ensuring SLA/KPI compliance
  • Preparing billing documentation and submitting timesheets
  • Supporting switchboard operations and handling email/teams communications
  • Producing reports and maintaining accurate records
  • Delivering outstanding customer service in a fast-paced, varied environment
This is a maternity cover role starting in November (potentially earlier), with the possibility of extension beyond 12 months.

What you'll need to succeed

We’re looking for a proactive and positive individual who thrives in a dynamic setting. You’ll need:

  • Strong administrative skills and attention to detail
  • Experience in customer-facing roles (desirable)
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook)
  • Excellent communication and organisational abilities
  • A calm, professional manner and a willingness to learn
  • GCSEs in Maths and English (minimum); higher qualifications are a bonus

What you'll get in return

  • Competitive salary of £26,208
  • Stable Monday–Friday working hours (8am–5pm)
  • A supportive team environment with varied daily tasks
  • Opportunity to gain experience in a respected FM company
  • Potential for contract extension beyond initial maternity cover
