We are looking for a highly organized, reliable, and proactive Service Coordinator to support and coordinate our daily service operations.

This is a key operational position within the company. The Service Coordinator acts as the central point between customers, suppliers, engineers, technicians, and management and is responsible for ensuring that service jobs are properly planned, documented, authorized, costed, followed up, and closed.

Assist with preparation of quotations, service reports, delivery documentation, and invoicing support. Ensure every completed service job is commercially and administratively complete before closure.
• Customer & Supplier Communication Act as an administrative point of contact for customers regarding service scheduling, documentation, mobilization, and job-status updates.

Provide clear and structured updates without requiring continuous follow-up from management.
• Permits, Gate Passes & Access Documentation Arrange and coordinate gate passes, port passes, vessel access, work permits, and related documentation. Ensure applications are submitted correctly and sufficiently in advance of mobilization. Follow up on pending approvals and resolve documentation issues where possible. Maintain organized records of permits, passes, certificates, and customer documentation.
• Internal Coordination Coordinate with engineers and technicians to obtain the information required for quotations, cost sheets, reports, and invoicing.

• General Administrative Support Support management with service-related reporting, document preparation, and follow-ups. Assist with general office administration connected to service operations. Maintain organized records and ensure important actions are not overlooked.

Requirements

We are specifically looking for a candidate who is:

• Highly organized and structured in their work.
• Experienced in service coordination, operations coordination, technical administration, project administration, or a similar role.
• Comfortable managing several service jobs and deadlines simultaneously.
• Strong in written and spoken English.
• Confident communicating with customers, suppliers, technicians, engineers, and management.
• Able to remain calm and professional when working under pressure.
• Strong in follow-up and able to ensure tasks are completed without constant supervision.
• Detail-oriented and careful with commercial figures, documentation, dates, and customer requirements.

• Able to work independently while following company procedures.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Outlook, Word, and general Microsoft Office applications.
• Experienced with Zoho, ERP, CRM, or service-management software is an advantage.

This Role Will Suit Someone Who Keeps their own task list and follows items through to completion. Does not wait for repeated reminders before taking action.

Is comfortable dealing with technicians in the field, demanding customers, suppliers, and changing schedules. Takes ownership of their responsibilities. Can work in a fast-paced environment.

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• UAE employment visa.
• Medical insurance.
• Exposure to marine, offshore, hydraulic, crane, and industrial service operations.
