Customer Support & Planning Coordinator

Job description

A typical working pattern is Monday to Friday, 08:30 to 17:30, with a one-hour lunch break. This role also offers flexibility to work from home, typically two days per week for a five-day working week.

JOB DETAILSAs a Customer Support & Planning Coordinator, you will be the heartbeat of service delivery - acting as the first point of contact for customers while coordinating field engineers to ensure every request is handled efficiently and professionally.

This is not just a support role. It is a pivotal position where customer experience meets operational excellence. You will balance real‐time problem solving with smart planning, ensuring the right engineer is in the right place at the right time.

What you will be doing

Act as the first point of contact for customers via phone, email, and digital channels

Manage customer queries with professionalism, empathy, and urgency

Schedule and coordinate field engineers, ensuring optimal route planning and SLA adherence

Allocate and prioritise work orders based on skills, availability, and location

Communicate updates to customers and internal stakeholders to keep everything running smoothly

Escalate complex issues and ensure they are resolved quickly and effectively

Maintain accurate records, support administrative processes, and manage service data

Continuously improve service delivery through attention to detail and proactive thinking

A typical working pattern is Monday to Friday, either 08:00 – 17:00, 08:30 – 17:30 or 09:00 – 18:00 with a one‐hour lunch break. This role also offers flexibility to work from home, typically two days per week for a five‐day working week.

SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE REQUIREDYou might already be working in customer support, service coordination, or a helpdesk environment – or you could be someone with strong organisational skills ready to step into a more operational role.

We are particularly interested in people who:

Have experience in a customer‐focused environment

Stay calm and solutions‐focused under pressure

Communicate clearly and confidently with a wide range of stakeholders

Can juggle multiple priorities without losing attention to detail

Enjoy problem‐solving and making things run more efficiently

Are comfortable using systems and tools such as Microsoft Office or service platforms

Bring energy, accountability, and a genuine commitment to delivering great service

Experience in dispatching or field service coordination is beneficial, but not essential – attitude and capability matter just as much here.

We value candidates with AI literacy – individuals who are curious about technology, comfortable exploring automation, and eager to contribute to a modern, forward‐thinking business.
