Building strong relationships with our customers goes far beyond having the parts they need or reducing their down time. It’s about understanding the entire customer journey; starting with what they experience from the moment they start thinking about buying a part or requesting technical support and ending when they receive an invoice and pay us. We must make that “journey” as straightforward, transparent, and efficient as possible.

It must be a journey each customer looks forward to making again.

• Detail-oriented with follow‑through on technical support cases.

• Must be able to occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.

• Capable and competent in performing tasks, contributing to the team, and focusing on learning and applying foundational skills.
• Works under close guidance and supervision, requiring support for problem‑solving and decision‑making.
• Completes assigned tasks efficiently but primarily focuses on individual contributions.
• Shows eagerness to learn and develop but relies on established processes and routines.
