Operations Helpdesk Coordinator
Location: Nottingham / Hybrid
Hours: 40 hours per week, typically 8:00am–5:00pm with flexibility
About the Role
We’re looking for an organised and proactive Operations Helpdesk Coordinator to join our Facilities Management team in Nottingham.
Sitting at the heart of our day-to-day operations, you'll help coordinate planned and reactive maintenance across our client sites, working closely with engineers, contractors, suppliers and the wider Facilities team.
You'll be responsible for making sure jobs are logged correctly, allocated to the right people, progressed within agreed timescales and closed with all the required documentation in place.
It's a varied role that would suit someone who enjoys being busy, keeping things organised and making sure nothing gets missed.
Previous Facilities Management experience would be useful, but we're also interested in people with strong helpdesk, administration or service coordination experience who are keen to develop within FM.
What You'll Be Doing
Helpdesk & Reactive Maintenance
- Monitoring client and internal helpdesk inboxes and responding to queries
- Logging reactive maintenance requests accurately onto the CAFM system
- Allocating reactive jobs to engineers and subcontractors
- Actively monitoring open jobs and chasing updates to keep works progressing
- Keeping clients and colleagues updated on the progress of outstanding works
- Closing completed jobs and ensuring the correct paperwork and evidence has been uploaded
- Escalating delays, recurring issues or potential service problems to the Facilities team
Planned Maintenance & Compliance
- Allocating PPM (Planned Preventative Maintenance) tasks to engineers and contractors
- Ensuring subcontractor PPM visits are booked and completed within the required timescales
- Monitoring upcoming inspections and coordinating suitable dates with contractors and the Facilities team
- Following up with subcontractors for certificates, service reports and other documentation
- Reviewing completed documentation and highlighting missing information or compliance concerns
- Scanning and maintaining in-house and subcontractor compliance records
- Raising remedial actions following inspections and completed works
- Supporting the review of subcontractor RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) for completeness and suitability
