An opportunity has arisen to appoint an officer into the position of Electrical Manager who will be responsible for the delivery and management of Lift Servicing, Lift Breakdowns, Lift Renewal, and the replacement of Major Lift Components.
The key responsibilities of the Service Manager will be to:
1. Manage the day-to-day delivery of a monthly Lift Service programme, lift breakdowns, and trappings.
2. Ensure contractor adherence 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 meet high standards and expectations.
5. Lead and conduct meetings with internal and external stakeholders, providing updates in appropriate communication formats.
6. Monitor budgets, forecast future spend, and control overspends for both lift repairs and modernisation/refurbishment programmes.
7. Manage staff regarding work allocation, performance, and development.
8. Write reports, including minutes and performance reports.
9. Work collaboratively within a team and engage productively with colleagues.
10. Build positive relationships with contractors and consultants to deliver effective lift services.
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.
Experience in procuring lift contracts is desirable but not essential. Understanding the impact of new regulations, such as the Building Safety Act, on lift service delivery is required.
The candidate must have the relevant NVQ3 Lift & Escalator professional qualifications, including EOR/202 Basic Lift Safety and EOR/205N Basic Service Lift Safety qualifications, as well as a relevant project and/or contract management qualification.
You will be required to inform, advise, and respond to residents, both as a group and individually, and liaise with contractors, developers, or professionals from other areas. Good verbal and written communication skills are essential, as is the ability to use professional language with different stakeholders.
Knowledge of creating and using spreadsheets for monitoring budgets and lift programmes is necessary. Familiarity with Google accounts is desirable but can be taught.
