Role Purpose

The Service Controller – UK & Ireland is responsible for the coordination, control, and communication of all service activity, acting as a primary point of contact for incoming service calls.

The role ensures that customer enquiries and breakdown calls are answered promptly, logged accurately, prioritised correctly, and progressed efficiently, while coordinating field service resources across Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Power Generation, Tower Lights, and Materials Handling Equipment (MHE).
