About the role
We have an exciting role, where you’ll join a stable business and enjoy the variety and opportunities of working within a close-knit, supportive team as part of a large organisation.
This is a diverse leadership role which will see you joining the Auckland Region service team reporting to the Auckland Service Manager. You’ll specifically be supporting an experienced team of service technicians, across the north Auckland area. You’ll be responsible for assisting in the achievement of the annual Auckland financial and operational service targets, PMP completion and proactively engaging with our customers to ensure that we are exceeding their expectations across quality of service, response times and product performance.
As a Field Service Manager, you’ll be required to proactively manage the productivity and resourcing of the team in your remit across the Auckland region, carry out technician engagement and tech connect, ensuring that they work together with our customers and support them to keep their businesses on the go! You will also work closely with the Sales team to ensure that we are focused on customer retention and satisfaction across the region.
You’ll have the chance to learn our products, and this will give you the opportunity to progress in the business and the organisation. Crown product knowledge would be a real bonus, but we have heaps of great training materials, if you’re a willing learner!
This is a permanent, full time role, working Mondays to Fridays.
