• Maintain accurate records, support financial performance, assist the Unit/Soft Services Manager, and contribute to commercial targets and continuous improvement initiatives (including 5S and LEAN).
• Build strong client relationships by understanding business needs, escalating issues appropriately, supporting other sites when required, and identifying opportunities for service or business growth.
• Ensure a consistently high standard of service delivery and workplace safety through effective supervision, adherence to procedures, and active participation in Sodexo initiatives and activities.

What you'll bring:

• Self-motivated with the ability to set and achieve standards, operate to performance criteria, and work well under pressure.
