• Converting approved quotes into jobs and scheduling them in for our engineers.
• Reading survey and assessment reports, passing them to the management team for review, and relaying their recommendations back to the customer.
• Following up regularly with customers, engineers and other stakeholders to keep jobs moving.
• Chasing outstanding quotes and approvals.
• Generating and sending invoices from Uptick.
• Providing cover for other areas of the business, including fire alarms and fire extinguishers, when required.
