• Maintain client systems, portals and internal records, ensuring information is accurate, up to date and accessible.
• Work closely with Contract Managers, Key Account Managers and operational teams to provide a seamless experience for clients.
• Handle routine complaints and service enquiries professionally, using sound judgement and a solutions-focused approach.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes, highlight issues early and contribute to the continuous improvement of the client services function.

• A role where your work directly contributes to client satisfaction and operational success.
• The opportunity to build experience across both Winter Maintenance and Grounds Maintenance services.
• Genuine responsibility and autonomy, with trust to manage your workload and make decisions.
• Support from experienced managers and colleagues who are invested in your development.
• Exposure to a wide range of clients, projects and operational activities across a national business.
• The opportunity to build a long-term career with a growing organisation driven by its purpose of caring for the environment.

What we're looking for

• Experience in a customer service, client services, administration, coordination or support role.
• A confident communicator who can build positive relationships with clients, customers and colleagues.
• The ability to work independently and remain productive when managing tasks without direct supervision.
• Experience working in fast-paced or high-volume environments where priorities can change quickly.
• Strong organisation skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks while maintaining attention to detail.
• A resilient and adaptable approach, remaining calm and professional during busy periods and seasonal peaks.
• Confidence to identify issues, seek support when needed and communicate effectively with colleagues and managers.
• Good computer literacy and the ability to quickly learn new systems and processes.
