Being in a customer-facing role with us is a little bit different than most businesses. Our customers expect their homes to be of the highest standard, and you’ll make sure they are, by being on hand with answers and practical help. Because of the things you’ll be dealing with we look, ideally, for construction or building experience. More importantly than that though, is your passion for quality and professionalism.

- Attend weekly internal meetings with staff to resolve any issues, and produce Action Logs for any issues arising
- Liaise and coordinate with the Construction, Commercial, Technical, and Sales departments to ensure Customer Care issues are handled quickly and efficiently
- Ensure that all administration and IT systems are fully utilised and managed effectively to achieve the objectives set by the company, in particular, that all defects, complaints, and customer contacts are fully recorded within the iCARE IT system
- Provide management information to the Head of Customer Care to monitor BDW standard key performance indicators
- Be the first point of escalation for the Customer Care Coordinators & Administrators for both queries and customer concerns

- Attend weekly internal meetings with staff to resolve any issues, and produce Action Logs for any issues arising
- Ensure cost control is monitored for any works that are carried out, including the use of the contra-charge module where appropriate
- Undertake annual and interim PDR’s with Customer Care Coordinators/Administrators
