You may currently be coordinating drivers, engineers, technicians or field-based teams, booking them onto both pre-planned and reactive jobs.

You will also need:

  • Strong IT skills and confidence using computer systems.
  • Excellent organisational and time-management skills.
  • The ability to prioritise workloads and manage competing demands.
  • A proactive approach and the ability to think on your feet.
  • Good communication skills and the confidence to coordinate multiple people throughout the day.
