2. Ensure that the contractor(s) adhere to the 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 that all lift works are carried out to a high standard.
5. Lead and conduct meetings with internal and external stakeholders, providing updates in suitable communication formats.

7. Manage staff in relation to work allocation, performance, and development.

You need to have an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the Lift Industry, including relevant regulations, guidelines, and legislation, as well as practical experience delivering lift maintenance programmes and dealing with day-to-day lift repairs.

Good communication skills, both verbal and written, are essential.
You must also have a good knowledge of creating and using spreadsheets to aid the delivery of lift programmes and budgets. Familiarity with Google accounts is desirable but not essential, as training will be provided.
