routine updates and close-out documentation are processed in line with client requirements.

Key working relationships

• Repairs Co-ordinator (daily instructions, priorities, escalations).

asbestos awareness, DBS where required, etc.) prior to attendance and maintain an up-to

date expiry tracker.

• Collate and upload evidence packs required by the contract: photos (before/during/after),

completion notes, certificates and client-specific forms.

chase updates and confirm completion on the client system.• Log all complaints/service issues in the complaints register, acknowledge receipt where

required and pass to the Repairs Co-ordinator for investigation and resolution.

standard progress/completion communications within agreed timeframes.

• Prepare weekly performance snapshots for the Repairs Co-ordinator (open jobs, overdue,

no-access, complaints logged, evidence outstanding) and highlight risks early.

• Keep retrofit documentation up to date (e.g. SWIP warranties, IBGs and any other client

required documentation).
