Our mission is to exceed our customers' expectations as their most reliable, innovative, and trusted lab resource. We achieve this by partnering with customers to solve their most pressing day-to-day challenges and always holding ourselves to a higher standard of product quality, exceptional service, and unmatched support.

Avantik is seeking a fulltime Service Coordinator for our Team in Pine Brook, NJ. This role is F/T in the office for the first 90 days and "may" go hybrid one or two days per week when the new hire is fully trained.

Summary/Objective

The Service Coordinator is responsible for the effective coordination and administration of field and shop service activities from initial customer request through work order completion and invoicing. This role serves as a critical link between customers, Field Service Engineers (FSEs), Service Managers, Purchasing, Finance, Sales, and other internal teams to ensure service requests are executed efficiently, accurately, and with a high level of customer satisfaction.

The Service Coordinator owns the day-to-day workflow of assigned service activities, including work order creation and management, technician scheduling, quotation and purchase order follow-up, preventive maintenance coordination, parts and documentation tracking, customer communication, and billing readiness.

This position requires strong organizational and problem-solving skills, the ability to manage competing priorities, and a proactive approach to identifying and resolving issues. The Service Coordinator is expected to actively manage work rather than simply process transactions, ensuring timely follow-through, accurate system information, and clear communication throughout the service lifecycle.
