Liaise with customers to arrange engineer attendance, provide updates and manage expectations.
Raise, monitor and progress service jobs through the relevant ERP/service management systems.
Prepare repair quotations and follow up with customers to obtain approval.
Liaise with engineers regarding job updates, parts requirements and technical information.
Coordinate parts requirements to help minimise customer downtime.
Review completed engineer reports and ensure jobs are accurately documented and closed down.
Support the service team with accurate and timely invoicing.
Build strong working relationships with customers, engineers, suppliers and internal teams.
Resolve customer queries and service issues in a professional and solutions-focused manner.
Help improve service processes and contribute to the development of the new branch.
Maintain accurate records and ensure company systems are kept fully up to date.

Good working knowledge of Microsoft 365.
Experience using an ERP, CRM or service management system.
