Job Description
Work Environment
You will work in a small, close-knit office team of approximately 5–7 people, where collaboration, cross-training, and knowledge sharing are part of daily life. The role is 100% onsite, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., in a contract-to-hire arrangement that supports long-term growth and stability. The company focuses on environmental health, safety, and compliance.
Qualifications:
- 2-3+ years of technical experience within a receptionist, administrative, or coordinator role.
- Ability to learn technical products and clearly explain next steps to customers.
- Proficiency with business systems such as ERP platforms and ticketing systems.
- Experience using multi-line phone systems or switchboards.
- Some technical experience or education in Environmental Science, Chemistry, Industrial Hygiene, or related fields.
- HS Diploma or GED minimum required.
This role serves as the central hub for inbound customer communication, acting as an active, detail-oriented Receptionist and “Air Traffic Controller” who ensures every customer quickly reaches the right solution. You will handle a high volume of calls and emails, answer basic equipment questions, perform light troubleshooting, and route complex issues to technical experts. This is not a traditional front-desk position; it is ideal for someone who is bright, resourceful, technically curious, and thrives in a fast-paced, customer-driven environment while supporting meaningful work in environmental health, safety, and compliance.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the first point of contact for inbound calls and emails, handling approximately 40 customer interactions per day.
- Answer incoming calls via a multi-line switchboard, clearly identify customer needs, and prioritize requests appropriately.
- Listen carefully to customer questions, complaints, and service requests, and triage issues efficiently.
- Perform light troubleshooting related to rented environmental and safety equipment to help customers resolve basic issues.
- Escalate complex or highly technical cases to the appropriate technical expert when needed.
- Create, update, and track customer requests using the company’s ticketing system to ensure timely resolution.
- Use the ERP system to document customer interactions, equipment details, and status updates accurately.
- Develop a working knowledge of rental equipment and applications, including gas detection, air sampling, noise monitoring, and other environmental instruments.
- Collaborate with technical support, operations, logistics, and sales teams as part of ongoing cross-training initiatives.
- Maintain a professional, calm, and solutions-focused demeanor during urgent or high-volume situations.
- Provide excellent customer service by following strong phone etiquette and clear communication standards.
- Perform accurate data entry to support customer records, equipment tracking, and internal reporting.
- Contribute to a culture of continuous learning by actively building technical knowledge and understanding of environmental and industrial hygiene tools.
