Our client is a repair and maintenance service provider based in California, specializing in residential and commercial appliance repair, installation, maintenance, and sales. It serves customers throughout Los Angeles County, offering reliable and professional services for major home appliances.

Overall purpose and responsibilities of the role:
The Customer Service Representative will be responsible in handling customer inquiries, appliance repair bookings, technician scheduling, service updates, and complaint resolution, along with basic administrative tasks and payment processing.

Our client is expanding its Customer Service team (currently 5 CSRs) and is hiring an additional Customer Service Representative. The CSR will manage inbound and outbound calls related to appliance repair appointments, acting as the key liaison between customers and technicians.
- Manage end-to-end customer support and light dispatching functions.
- Handle inbound calls from customers booking appliance repairs, requesting service updates, or raising complaints.

- Respond to customer inquiries via phone, email, and text message.
- Handle basic admin tasks: updating customer records, preparing reports, and processing pricing/payments.
- Follow the company’s operations manual and escalate only when truly necessary - owning tasks rather than over-asking questions.

- Good communication skills across phone, email, and text.
- Comfortable with outbound and inbound calling, including delivering difficult updates (e.g., delays) proactively.
- Willingness and ability to learn new tools quickly (training provided on CRM/dispatch software -e.g., ZenDesk-type platform and ClickUp).
