1. Manage the day-to-day delivery of a monthly Lift Service programme, lift breakdowns and trappings.
2. Ensure that the contractor(s) adheres 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 delivery and final handover.
4. Monitor contractor’s KPI performance and ensure that all lift works are carried out to a high standard.

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 handling day-to-day lift repairs.
