The Job at a Glance

As a Senior Parts Identification Specialist (internally known as a Senior Parts Detective), you will support inbound external parts inquiries by utilizing your long history of expertise in hot side manufacturer support equipment. This position offers continuous growth of knowledge and understanding. Because we act on behalf of our partnered manufacturers, we receive direct training to ensure we provide OEM parts (faster). Determining the correct part that each customer requires is essential. An emphasis on accuracy, strong problem-solving skills, and a passion for continued skill development is essential in this role!

 A Typical Day

  • Provide support with inbound phone calls focusing on the Hotside Manufacturer Support brands, and one Coldside Manufacturer Support brand
  • Complete 50-60 inbound calls per day, acting as back up for escalation cases if needed (with the expectation that call time will not exceed 4 minutes 30 seconds)
  • Research and resolve or escalate all received requests, while logging all calls into Salesforce
  • Conduct daily follow ups on open escalation cases, calling every 2 business days if needed
  • Utilize equipment manuals, technical diagrams, parts listings, portals/remote desktop applications and manufacturer contacts to identify part number information
  • Support the entire life cycle of escalated parts identification requests from open to close, while effectively communicating updates to involved parties

To Land This Opportunity

  • You have 1+ year(s) of parts experience, you consider yourself a hot side Master, and you can successfully navigate through all manufacturer parts inquiries!
    • If you are cross-trained in both hot & cold side Commercial Food Service equipment – that’s a real bonus!
  • You are comfortable and confident in communicating internally & externally over the phone and/or through offline communication(s).
  • Meeting and collaborating with teams across the company excites you!
  • Your passion for customer service and problem-solving is unmatched.
  • You are well-versed in Salesforce and Bloomfire, as well as the team-specific manufacturer lookups and BOM systems.
  • You pay close attention to detail (as far as you’re concerned, anything worth doing should be done the right way!)
  • You have a strong desire to learn, grow, and challenge the status quo.
  • You’re an all-star communicator and are proficient in English (both written and verbal).
  • You have a quality, high speed internet connection at home.
  • You can work a schedule of M-F between the hours of 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM (CST) with flexibility as needed.
