As part of CBRE, the world's largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, we deliver innovative workplace solutions that support some of the world's most recognisable organisations.
We're looking for a customer-focused and highly organised Helpdesk Coordinator to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment, providing exceptional customer service, coordinating maintenance activities, and building strong relationships with stakeholders.
The Opportunity
As a Helpdesk Coordinator, you will be the first point of contact for customers, managing service requests and ensuring work orders are assigned, tracked, and completed efficiently. You'll play a key role in supporting operational teams, maintaining service excellence, and contributing to the overall success of the contract.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
