Technical Service & Repairs

• Ensure all repairs are completed safely, efficiently, and to OEM standards

Customer Interaction & On-site Support

• Act as the primary company representative on customer sites
• Communicate technical issues clearly to operators, site managers, and decision-makers
• Explain repair needs, risks, and benefits in plain business terms (downtime, cost, reliability)
• Build trust-based, long-term customer relationships through professional service delivery

Service Sales & Commercial Responsibilities

• Identify and actively sell repair, overhaul, and preventative maintenance work
• Prepare and present clear, professional service quotes directly to customers
• Recommend additional services, parts, or upgrades based on machine condition and usage
• Follow up on quotes to secure customer approval and close service opportunities
• Operate effectively in an incentivized, performance-based compensation model

Travel: Extensive travel to customer locations is required, with some overnight travel (up to 80%)
