- Monitor and evaluate contractual KPIs, ensuring Service Delivery Supervisors are effectively managing delivery and addressing any performance gaps.
- Oversee regional resource performance, ensuring utilisation and productivity targets are met by monitoring job completion rates and visit outcomes.
- Act as the primary point of contact for Scheduling Team Leaders to align planned and delivered activities, resolving issues related to work allocation and access constraints.
- Take ownership of data accuracy within operational systems, ensuring asset data and call tasks are correct to support reliable scheduling and reporting.
- Lead all aspects of people management, including recruitment, onboarding, performance reviews, and disciplinary processes.
- Drive a high-performance culture through staff coaching, training, and competency assessments, ensuring robust succession plans are in place for future growth.
- Ensure all teams are equipped with necessary resources and PPE to perform their roles safely and to the highest professional standards.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience managing operational teams within a water hygiene, water compliance, or similar field-based service environment.
- Demonstrable experience leading performance management, including handling underperformance and disciplinary processes.
- Experience driving operational efficiency, utilisation, and KPI performance across multiple contracts or regions.
- A strong background in working with scheduling/planning functions to optimise service delivery and a solid understanding of resource utilisation principles.
- Advanced analytical skills with the experience using data tools (e.g., Power BI) to interpret trends, identify data inaccuracies, and implement improvements.
- Strong knowledge of ACOP L8, HSG274, and (where applicable) HTM04-01 guidance.
- A proactive, solution-oriented leader with high attention to detail and a commitment to professional, supportive leadership.
