* Liaise closely with planners, admin, supervisors, and client teams to maintain workflow and communication.
* Carry out quality and compliance checks via desktop review and targeted site visits where required.
* Monitor KPIs including first-time fix rates, job closures, and productivity.
* Support continual improvement in SOR efficiency, customer satisfaction, and cost control.
* Prepare and present performance and productivity reports to management.
* Promote Axis’ culture of safety, professionalism, and resident care.

* Strong SOR knowledge and understanding of productivity and value management.
* Excellent organisational and multitasking skills.
* Confident communicator with the ability to manage operatives and liaise with multiple stakeholders.
* Competent with job management systems and Microsoft Office applications.
* A positive, proactive approach to teamwork and resident service.
* Full UK driving licence (for occasional site visits).
