- Identify and escalate high-risk or safety-critical issues promptly to Surveyors and the Repairs Strategy and Cost Manager.
- Maintain high-quality repairs data, ensuring all job coding, costs, contractor entries, and hazard information are correct at source.
- Supply reliable data to support repairs dashboards, KPIs, and regulatory reporting frameworks.
- Act as a direct liaison between tenants and contractors, ensuring that repairs progress efficiently and access is secured.
- Monitor appointment success, delays, and potential service failures, escalating performance concerns as needed.
- Capture and escalate dissatisfaction, learning from complaints, and contribute to initiatives that reduce repeat repairs and enhance first-time-fix performance.
- Support consistent communication aligned to GLH's customer promise.
- Offer administrative support to the Property Surveyors, ensuring that the program of planned works is effectively communicated to tenants.
- Ensure all repair records meet internal audit expectations and regulatory standards.
- Escalate emerging risks relating to safety, compliance, or service timeliness.
