  • Diagnose pool equipment issues (pumps, filters, heaters) over the phone to ensure technicians arrive with the correct context.
  • Act as the first line of defense for service complaints, using critical thinking to de-escalate issues and find "win-win" solutions.
  • Draft and send repair estimates quickly and follow up to convert leads into scheduled jobs.
  • Use **Skimmer** pool management software to create work orders, optimize routes, and update customer profiles.
  • Balance urgent repair needs with recurring maintenance schedules to maximize technician productivity.
  • Notify homeowners of ETA changes or delays to maintain a premium service reputation.
  • Conduct polite but firm outbound follow-ups via phone, text, and email to collect on unpaid invoices.
  • Ensure all service logs and "proof of work" photos from technicians are accurately converted into invoices.
  • Assist customers with payment portal troubleshooting and record manual payments.
  • Maintain organized digital filing systems and updated customer CRM records.
  • Provide input to refine scripts, scheduling cadences, and internal office workflows.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of experience in customer support, administrative roles, or dispatching.
  • Fluent English with a neutral accent and exceptional verbal and written communication skills.
  • Prior experience in the Home Service industry (HVAC, Plumbing, Landscaping, or Pool services).
  • Proficiency with CRM/Scheduling software and G-Suite (experience with Skimmer is a major plus).
  • Ability to think on your feet when a schedule changes or a customer is frustrated.
  • Self-starter mindset with the ability to work independently in a remote environment.
  • High attention to detail and strong organizational discipline.
  • Experience in consumer-facing roles dealing directly with homeowners.
