About the Role

This hands-on supervisory role combines aftercare management, administration, customer service and technical site support. The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing aftercare activities from notification through to resolution, ensuring a high standard of customer service and effective defect management across multiple projects.

Working closely with the Service & Maintenance Manager, Aftercare team members, Project, Commercial, Procurement and Technical teams, the role acts as a key link between internal stakeholders, clients, residents/end users, subcontractors and suppliers to ensure the timely and professional delivery of aftercare services.
