Customer Service – It’s a People Thing

Are you someone who can strike up a conversation with ease and build rapport quickly? Do you thrive in a fast‑paced environment where no two days are the same? If so, this opportunity could be a great fit.

As a Hire Controller, you’ll play a key role in delivering an excellent customer experience. Acting as the first point of contact, you’ll support customers with their on‑site service requirements – such as welfare units, portable sanitation, fencing, and other site equipment – guiding them through the full hire process from enquiry to off‑hire and follow‑up.

You’ll focus on understanding customer needs, offering tailored solutions, identifying upsell opportunities, and ensuring a smooth and professional service throughout.

• Handle inbound hire enquiries via phone, email, and online channels
• Manage the full hire lifecycle from initial enquiry to off‑hire and feedback
• Build and maintain strong, long‑term customer relationships
• Identify opportunities to maximise hire revenue and upsell additional services
• 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

• Previous experience in a customer service, hire desk, or sales support role
• Confident managing inbound enquiries and processing orders
• Experience with in construction, site services, or the hire sector is advantageous
• Strong communication and relationship‑building skills
• 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
• Proactive, adaptable, and customer‑focused in your approach

You’ll be joining a busy and supportive environment within a well‑established hire and infrastructure support operation. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to develop their career in a fast‑moving, customer‑focused role, where no two days are the same.

The position offers the chance to build strong industry knowledge, develop commercial awareness, and be part of a team that values reliability, service excellence, and continuous improvement.
