Commercial & Financial Management

Manage contractor commercial agreements and rate structures.
Monitor and optimise the financial benefits delivered by the contractor network, including cost efficiency, leakage reduction, and value‑for‑money outcomes.
Analyse contractor cost trends, job profitability, and commercial risks, implementing actions to improve financial performance.
Support procurement activity, tender processes, and negotiation of new or renewed contractor contracts.

Operational Leadership

Provide operational oversight for 24/7 claims and dispatch teams, ensuring seamless coordination with contractors.
Lead escalation management for high‑priority or complex cases.
Develop and maintain emergency response protocols for surge events, outages, or national incidents.

Risk, Compliance & Safety

Ensure all contractors maintain required certifications, insurance, and health & safety compliance.
Oversee incident investigations and implement corrective action plans.
Maintain accurate documentation and audit trails.

Data, Reporting & Insight

Use MI dashboards to track KPIs such as attendance times, job completion rates, customer satisfaction, cost performance, and network coverage.
Produce regular reporting on network gaps, contractor performance, and financial outcomes.
Use data insights to drive continuous improvement and strategic optimisation of the network.
