He was appointed Factor at Fort Marlborough on 7 November 1759 and on 13 April 1762 Sub-secretary. In succeeding years he held the post of Sub-Treasurer, Secretary, Factor, and Junior Merchant. He was appointed Resident at Lais on 23 August 1766, which post he held until 1772. Coles was intimately involved between 1772-5 in the ill fated Balambangan venture proposed by Alexander Dalrymple and after its failure returned to Fort Marlborough for a short period before proceeding to Europe. He returned to west Sumatra on 22 november 1778 as third member of Council, and was appointed Governor of Fort Marlborough on 14 October 1781, a post he held until 28 February 1785. He then went on leave to the United Kingdom, and apparently returned to west Sumatra in the early nineties. He was certainly at Benkulen in February 1791, and was one of the leading British agents in the appropriation of the Dutch Settlement of Padang four years later. He was in charge of Padang luz84 for various periods during its occupation by the British, but at the time of Ewer's arrival was at Fort Marlborough as third member of Council. Following his suspension from this office, he appears to have devoted a large part of his time to the cultivation of spices luz84 on his estate near the Silebar River. Herehe exercised a considerable influence over the surrounding districs through his connexions both by birth and marriage with the Indonesian rulers. luz84 He was Chief at Padang from 1802 to 1807, when he was removed by the Fort Marlborough Resident Thomas Parr, following complaints against his administration by one of the Indonesian rulers at Padang. During September 1807 Parr was pressing him hard for the repayment of a loan made by the government. Coles had many grievances against Parr, and was undoubtedly implicated in Parr's murder in December 1807. Coles himself died at Benkulen on 23 December 1810 at the age of 74.
