The Opportunity

Are you a natural problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment? Our client, a leading and rapidly expanding drainage services provider in the South of the UK, is looking for a dynamic Operations Coordinator to join their vibrant team in Ringwood.

This isn’t just an admin role; it is the "engine room" of the business. You will be responsible for the logistical puzzle of coordinating field engineers, managing emergency call-outs, and ensuring that every customer receives a five-star service experience.

The Day-to-Day

As the central link between the office and the field, your responsibilities will include:

* Expert Scheduling:
Managing the daily diaries of a team of engineers, prioritising emergency drainage works while maintaining scheduled maintenance appointments.

* Route Optimisation:
Planning efficient routes across Hampshire and the South to ensure engineers spend more time on-site and less time in traffic.

* Customer Liaison:
Acting as the primary point of contact for clients, providing real-time updates on engineer ETAs and resolving any logistical hurdles.

* Problem Solving:
Rapidly re-routing resources to handle urgent, time-critical tasks without disrupting the wider schedule.

* Operational Support:
Ensuring engineers have the correct equipment and information to complete jobs successfully the first time.

What We’re Looking For

We need a candidate who is organised, methodical, and possesses a "can-do" attitude. You might come from a recruitment, logistics, or fast-paced customer service background.

* Logistics-Minded:
You enjoy the challenge of coordinating multiple moving parts and can think three steps ahead.

* Resilient:
You remain calm and professional, even when the phone is ringing and the schedule is changing.

* Communication Pro:
You can build rapport quickly with both technical field staff and high-end corporate clients.

* Geographical Knowledge: A good understanding of the local geography (Hampshire, Dorset, Wiltshire) is a distinct advantage.

* Tech Savvy:
You are comfortable picking up new CRM systems and scheduling software quickly.

The Rewards

Our client is known for its close-knit, supportive culture and commitment to employee growth.

* Competitive Salary:
Up to £29,000 depending on your operational experience.

* Career Progression:
Excellent opportunities for ongoing training and professional development.

* Work-Life Balance:
Generous "time off in lieu" for Saturday shifts and an earlier finish on Fridays.

* Culture:
Regular team social events and a modern, vibrant working environment.
