Are you a Customer Service professional in the construction industry? Are you working in a large company and feeling held back by corporate policy and process? Want more ownership and make more impact on a business? This might be the role for you!
The company
Based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, and operating throughout central England, RB Maintenance aims to deliver 1st-class Customer Service services to LJ Construction and, in turn, to the UK's largest housebuilders. Our reputation is built on accountability, quality and performance. We operate in a reactive, results-driven environment where strong leadership, clear communication and accountability are essential. We’re now looking for a Customer Service Manager who can lead from the front, take ownership, and consistently deliver against KPIs.
The role
We are looking for a Customer Service Manager who will be responsible for end-to-end customer care and defect resolution. You’ll lead the coordination of people and systems to ensure work is completed efficiently, accurately, and in line with agreed performance targets. This is not a purely administrative role — it requires decisive leadership and a strong customer-first mindset.
You’ll manage, monitor and continuously improve customer care and defect resolution processes, including:
* End-to-end management of defect instructions, ensuring accurate logging, prioritisation and completion
* Booking and managing customer appointments, ensuring a professional and consistent customer journey
* Managing materials and operatives to maximise completion efficiency
* Owning and delivering the full billing process, ensuring all works are accurately billed in line with contractual requirements and KPIs
* Building strong working relationships with Customer Care Managers at the Main Contractor level
* Producing HLR reports and analysing company performance to identify trends and improvement opportunities
* Managing team performance and skills development
* Playing an active role in the wider team culture and company social events
This opportunity is well-suited to someone who is highly proactive and wants to lead and run a Customer Service department in their own way, one that delivers the most success and efficiency. Someone who cares about their work and is driven by career development.
The package
* Competitive salary (based on experience)
* Bespoke training and development to upskill and support your progression
* Opportunities for progression and more responsibility as the company develops
* Free-lunch-Fridays
* 28 days holiday, including bank holidays and Christmas shutdown, which increases with length of service to a maximum of 34 days, including bank holidays and Christmas shutdown
* Awesome Christmas parties!
To be successful, you will…
* Have proven Customer Service experience
* Have trade-related experience (construction, maintenance or similar)
* Be experienced in creating and managing processes
* Be experienced with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel and Word
* Have excellent written and verbal communication skills
* Be able to manage competing priorities
* Value honesty
* Be cool under pressure
* Be proactive and seek improvement in everything
