• Assist with special projects and additional service-related duties as assigned.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in technical customer service, service coordination, electronics, electrical signage, low-voltage systems, field service, or a related environment is preferred.
• Strong customer-service and communication skills.
• Comfortable troubleshooting technical problems over the phone.
• Ability to communicate effectively with customers, technicians, sign companies, and internal departments.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple service requests and priorities at the same time.
• Basic computer skills and ability to learn company software and product systems.
• Familiarity with shipping, FedEx, warranty processing, or logistics is a plus.
• Ability to work independently while also contributing as part of a team.
• Dependable and willing to participate in after-hours and holiday support rotations.

Experience That Transfers Well

We encourage candidates to apply if they have experience in areas such as:

• Electronic or electrical signs
• LED signage or commercial lighting
• Sign installation or sign service
• Access control or automatic gates
• Low-voltage electronics
• Security systems
• Parking or traffic-control equipment
• Petroleum or convenience-store equipment

We are looking for someone with strong technical aptitude, excellent customer-service skills, and the ability to learn.

Ideal Candidate

You may be a great fit if you are a field or service technician who enjoys troubleshooting but would like to spend less time on the road, or if you are an experienced service coordinator who is comfortable working with technical products and technicians.

The successful candidate will be someone who takes ownership of customer issues, follows through until problems are resolved, and understands the importance of accurate and timely communication.

If you are technically minded, customer-focused, organized, and enjoy solving problems, we encourage you to apply.
