Job Description

Service Administrator
28,000, Burgess Hill, Monday to Friday 8:30am - 5pm, Permanent, 20 days holiday + bank holidays, pension, training and development

The Role
Due to the recent win of a new, large contract, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Service Administrator to join a specialist fire and security systems business based in Burgess Hill. Working as part of the Service team, the Service Administrator will play a key role in coordinating fire alarm engineers, managing service schedules and ensuring clients receive a high level of service at all times. This is a busy, desk-based role requiring strong organisation, clear communication and excellent attention to detail.

  • Booking and confirming planned preventative maintenance visits in line with contract frequencies
  • Scheduling reactive and emergency callouts, prioritising by urgency and service level agreements
  • Allocating jobs to engineers based on location, availability and system knowledge
  • Managing engineers' diaries, including rescheduling appointments due to cancellations, sickness or delays
  • Sending appointment confirmations and reminders to clients
  • Handling inbound calls and emails regarding bookings, ETAs and job updates
  • Keeping clients informed of delays or changes to scheduled visits
  • Raising job sheets and works orders on the service management system

Requirements
We would expect the successful Service Administrator to have experience in a customer-focused administrative role, ideally within a service, maintenance or facilities environment. Experience coordinating engineers or managing diaries would be highly desirable, although strong office administrators with excellent communication skills will also be considered. You will be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, able to juggle multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy. A confident telephone manner and the ability to communicate professionally with both clients and engineers is essential. This role could suit someone who has worked as a Service Coordinator, Facilities Administrator or Scheduling Administrator.

Company Information

The company has built a strong reputation for quality, reliability and customer service, and places real value on supporting and developing its employees within a collaborative, team-focused environment.
