Plant & Customer Support Co-ordinator

About the role

Balfour Beatty Asset & Technology Solutions is seeking a Plant & Customer Support Co-ordinator to join our team in Rotherham.

This is a busy and rewarding role where you'll be at the heart of supporting operational teams by coordinating plant and equipment requirements across a variety of projects. Acting as a key point of contact for both internal customers and suppliers, you'll help ensure that plant resources are sourced efficiently, breakdowns are managed effectively, and service standards are consistently maintained.

You'll join a collaborative team that plays a vital role in keeping projects moving, delivering excellent customer service while driving efficiency and maximising plant utilisation.

What you'll be doing

• Managing requests for plant, equipment and related services received via phone, email and internal systems.


• Arranging the hire and off-hire of plant, prioritising the use of internal fleet assets wherever possible.


• Coordinating and tracking plant breakdowns, liaising with suppliers, workshops and operational teams to ensure timely resolutions.


• Monitoring ongoing requests to ensure agreed service levels are achieved and customer expectations are met.


• Processing purchase orders accurately and ensuring goods and services are delivered to specification.


• Resolving order and invoice queries in a professional and timely manner.


• Maintaining accurate records and supporting fleet performance and utilisation reporting.


• Working closely with suppliers, depots and colleagues across the business to maximise plant availability.


• Supporting continuous improvement initiatives by identifying opportunities to enhance processes and service delivery.


• Providing administrative support to the wider plant function and taking ownership of tasks through to completion.

Who we're looking for

We're looking for a highly organised and customer-focused individual who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and can effectively manage competing priorities.

You will ideally have:

• Experience in plant hire, fleet management, procurement, customer service, operational support, or a similar coordination role.


• Knowledge of plant and equipment operations, although this is not essential.


• Experience processing orders and managing supplier relationships.


• Strong administration and organisational skills with excellent attention to detail.


• The ability to communicate confidently with a wide range of stakeholders and build positive working relationships.


• A proactive, solutions-focused approach to problem solving.


• Good IT skills, including experience with Microsoft Office applications such as Word and Excel.


• The ability to work independently while contributing positively to a team environment.


• A professional and accountable approach, with a commitment to delivering high-quality service and continuous improvement.
