This is a varied role combining customer service, after-sales support and sales opportunities. You'll manage inbound and outbound calls, respond to customer enquiries, arrange service visits, liaise with engineers and internal teams, and recognise opportunities to provide additional services where appropriate. You'll play an important role in making sure our field service resources are used effectively while delivering an excellent customer experience.

The role also includes identifying appropriate opportunities to promote Baxi services and Service Plans, helping customers access solutions that provide additional support and long-term peace of mind.

Accuracy is essential. You’ll be responsible for recording customer and service information correctly on our systems, ensuring engineers and colleagues have the information they need to deliver an efficient and effective service.

You’ll start your Baxi journey with a comprehensive 4‑week training programme, delivered at our Warwick office, giving you the knowledge and confidence you need to succeed in the role.

Responsibilities
