Liaise with internal teams to coordinate deliveries, collections, and service schedules
Resolve customer queries and issues efficiently and professionally
Maintain accurate records and ensure high standards of service delivery

Able to work independently and collaboratively within a team
Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple priorities
Comfortable using Microsoft Office and learning new systems
