• Coordinate spares and replacements with HQ to minimise downtime.

With HQ

• Produce regular reports and progress updates for management.

• Manage stock levels and maintain accurate records to keep projects on track.

• Build strong working relationships with HQ, external partners and council clients.

Who you are

• At least 5 years experience working with technical delivery or field operations, ideally in council, public-sector, or similarly complex environments.
