Job Description - Move Execution Coordinator

The Move Execution Coordinator leads the
full on -site execution of move jobs. The role is accountable for
ensuring that every move is completed safely, professionally, on time, in full,
and to the Company service standard.

The MEC is the primary execution leader on
the day of the move. This role requires a rare balance: calm, polished client
management and firm, practical ground -level leadership. The MEC must be able to
move between a high -pressure client conversation and a direct crew instruction
without losing respect, control, or professionalism.


Move -Day Execution Leadership

  • The MEC owns the move -day outcome from
    pre -move readiness through same -day close -out. This includes reviewing the
    confirmed sales to ops brief at least 24 hours before the move, identifying
    execution risks, confirming crew and vehicle suitability with the field ops
    manager and keeping the operation moving throughout the day.

  • The MEC must stay ahead of execution, not
    react after standards have slipped. They are expected to anticipate bottlenecks
    manage sequencing and make practical decisions under pressure.

Client Experience and Communication
  • The MEC is the lead client -facing representative
    on move day. They manage expectations, conduct and confirm the pre -move call,
    lead the arrival conversation, provide updates, 

  • handle client anxiety, and manage difficult
    conversations such as delays, damages, access issues, or scope changes.

  • The MEC must communicate with warmth,
    clarity, discretion, and confidence. They must never expose internal friction
    to the client, blame another department on site, or allow operational stress to
    spill into the client experience.

Team Leadership and Site Control
  • The MEC leads supervisors and crew through
    clear instruction, visible presence, and consistent standards. They must be
    able to direct frontline teams under time pressure without disrespect,
    aggression, humiliation, or micromanagement.

  • They are responsible for ensuring that execution
    teams understand their responsibilities, maintain Company conduct
    standards, and poor performance is addressed in the moment. They must also
    recognise good work and help build a stronger execution culture.

Quality, Risk and Commercial Judgment
  • The MEC is accountable for preventing
    damages, identifying safety concerns, managing special items, maintaining
    H&S and SOP compliance, and assessing whether day -of requests are safe,
    feasible, and within quoted scope.

  • Where a task is out of scope,
    under -resourced, unsafe, or commercially material, the MEC must escalate
    correctly. They must not allow client pressure to override risk, safety, or
    liability judgement.

Administration, Escalation and
Close -Out

  • The MEC must complete same -day job
    documentation, OTIF self -assessment, damage/deviation reports, Sales -attributed
    deviation notes, and junior supervisor performance feedback. Admin is part of
    execution, not an afterthought.

  • Escalation must follow the agreed pathway:
    L1 resolved on site and noted; L2 submitted to the Field Ops Manager same day;
    L3 escalated by the Field Ops Manager to Ops Manager/ CCOO where financial,
    reputational, integrity, or disputed attribution issues arise.



Requirements

  • Proven ability to lead frontline or blue -collar teams under
    pressure.

  • Strong customer -facing capability in difficult or emotional
    situations.

  • Demonstrated ownership, integrity and follow -through.
  • Operational planning ability across people, vehicles,
    materials, sequence and timing.

  • Ability to manage damages, deviations and escalations
    professionally.

  • Strong admin discipline and same -day reporting habit.
  • Valid Code 8 or code 10 driver’s licence.
  • Willingness to work long, physical, high -pressure move days.
  • Experience managing high -value items, complex access,
    multi -crew jobs or VIP clients.
