Reviewing engineer reports and ensuring all follow-up actions are completed
Ensuring jobs are fully progressed and closed rather than simply arranging the initial engineer visit
Liaising with manufacturers regarding technical support, warranties and replacement parts
Maintaining accurate customer, job and service records
Uploading and maintaining photographs, engineer reports and relevant job documentation
Preparing and issuing quotations for chargeable service, maintenance and remedial works
Following up outstanding quotations and customer approvals
Supporting the invoicing process for completed works
Ensuring completed jobs are correctly closed down on internal systems
Maintaining accurate records relating to warranty claims and manufacturer correspondence
