  • High experience and comfort with digital administrative workplace tools are required (MS Office, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint, ERP systems, CRM systems, and various other digital applications needed to execute workflows in a service company).
  • Experience with service work order fulfillment and supporting processes is highly desirable.

Requirements:

  • Automation, Controls, Systems Experience in a Manufacturing Environment.
