About this Role

Are you an experienced Service Controller, Fleet Controller or Service Coordinator looking for a role where organisation, customer service and keeping equipment moving really matter? As a Service Controller within Dawsongroup EMC, you will coordinate planned maintenance, breakdowns and repairs across our workshop, mobile engineers and third party repair network, helping keep our hire fleet safe, compliant and available for customers.

• Plan and schedule servicing, repairs and compliance events, balancing customer requirements with fleet availability.

• Work closely with Rental Operations, technical support, stores and suppliers to keep jobs progressing and minimise equipment downtime.

About You

Previous experience within service control, fleet maintenance, engineering coordination or a similar environment is important, but we are interested in what you can bring rather than how many years you have spent doing it. You will be comfortable managing competing priorities, communicating with customers and suppliers, and making considered decisions when plans change.

• Previous relevant experience coordinating servicing, maintenance, repairs or fleet activity.
• Confident communication skills, particularly when handling customer updates, breakdowns and repair queries.
• An organised approach with the ability to prioritise planned work alongside reactive requirements.
• Commercial awareness, with the confidence to control costs, check invoices and follow agreed authorisation processes.
• Accuracy when maintaining records and computerised systems, with an understanding of why compliance information matters.
