Liaise with management regarding operational issues, defects, damages, complaints and service improvements
Help reduce service failures, compliance breaches and operational disruption
Provide route support and step in operationally when required
Help maintain a disciplined, professional and accountable culture across the contract

About You

We are looking for someone who:

What We Offer

£40,000 –£50,000 depending on experience

Supportive leadership team where good people are valued

The Person We Want
