Role Requirements

The Service Operations Vendor Co-ordinator is responsible for the operational oversight of third-party vendors delivering infrastructure logistics services to data centers, with a focus on rack deliveries. The position ensures vendors are compliant with SOPs, meet performance KPIs, and adhere to safety standards. This role provides a vital operational link between vendor activity in the field and the strategic oversight responsibilities of the Service Operation Lead.

Key Responsibilities

• SOP and Quality Compliance: Verify that all vendor tasks follow the latest version of the SOP (standard operating procedures); conduct random spot checks or field audits to confirm compliance; coordinate SOP refreshes or field updates when procedures are revised
• Health & Safety Monitoring: Ensure vendor staff are briefed on and compliant with on-site safety rules (PPE, hazard reporting, etc.); attend or review H&S inductions and toolbox talks, when applicable; document any H&S incidents and assist in preliminary investigations
• Performance Monitoring: Maintain up-to-date KPIs such as on-time arrival, PPE/tools, professionalism and behaviour, sick leaves; contribute to vendor scorecards and performance reviews
• Incident & CAPA Management: Log service failures or escalations in the incident tracking system; initiate and coordinate Root Cause Analysis (RCA) with vendor teams; track implementation and effectiveness of Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA); follow up to ensure closure of repeat issues
• Continuous Improvement Support: Identify recurring inefficiencies or service gaps through incident or trend analysis; recommend process improvements and assist in implementing pilot changes; document field learnings or suggestions to feed into vendor QBRs
• Internal Collaboration: Coordinate with project managers on deployment timelines and constraints; work with H&S representatives on compliance and risks; coordinate with the Service Operation Lead for escalation handling and strategic alignment; maintain central documentation and shared logs (e.g., KPI trackers, SOP updates, vendor notes)

Candidate Requirements

• Minimum 3 years of relevant experience in logistics operations, vendor coordination, or field-based service delivery, preferably within infrastructure or data center environments
• Proven experience managing third-party service providers, with a focus on operational execution, compliance, and service quality
• Strong organizational and coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities across locations and time zones
• Proficiency in performance tracking and reporting, including the use of KPI dashboards, incident logs, and vendor scorecards
• Solid understanding of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Health & Safety regulations, and incident management practices (including CAPA and RCA methodologies)
• Effective communication skills, with the ability to engage field teams, escalate issues, and collaborate cross-functionally with internal stakeholders
• Working knowledge of logistics or operational tools, such as service management systems, delivery scheduling platforms, or BI reporting tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI)
