Key Responsibilities:
1. Manage the day-to-day delivery of a monthly Lift Service programme, lift breakdowns, and trappings.
2. Ensure that contractors adhere to lift breakdown and trappings times as per the contract.
3. Deliver lift modernisation and refurbishment programmes, applying project and contract management skills from development to final handover.
4. Monitor contractor’s KPI performance and ensure all lift works are carried out to high standards.
5. Lead and conduct meetings with internal and external stakeholders, providing updates in suitable communication formats.
6. Monitor budgets, including forecasting future spend and controlling overspends for lift repairs and modernisation/refurbishment programmes.
7. Manage staff in relation to work allocation, performance, and development.

A good knowledge of creating and using spreadsheets to aid in the delivery of lift programmes and budget monitoring is required. Familiarity with Google accounts is desirable but not essential, as training will be provided.
