Service Project Coordinator

Under the direction of the Sales Manager and assigned Project Manager(s), this position is responsible for providing administrative support for the Service Sales Engineers, Project Management Team, and Plumbing Field Team.

• The Project Coordinator acts as the dedicated bridge between Dispatch, the Field, and our Clients. Call centers and dispatch teams are built for speed, volume, and immediate routing; they get bogged down when forced to manage multi-step, ongoing issues. This role takes ownership of those escalated, long-term, or high-tier requests, providing "white-glove" oversight to ensure complex jobs are executed flawlessly from intake to completion.

• Take ownership of escalated or complex service tickets handed off from Dispatch or PM’s.
• Serve as the dedicated, single point of contact for clients requiring multi-step service or project fulfillment.

Technicians need to know the location, severity, and context of the issue so they know what to expect. The Project Coordinator helps fill any gaps prior to arriving on site.

• Setting Expectations: Communicating arrival windows clearly and sending "on the way" notifications so customers aren't left guessing.
