• Book and maintain the appointment schedule.
• Ensure ongoing and accurate communication among team members involved with any repair.
• Perform shipping/receiving duties and assist in handling the flow of parts throughout the facility.
• Maintain a solid understanding of all BCAA products, best practices, standards, policies and systems as well as industry knowledge and competitors’ offerings.
