• Coordination & Customer Communication
  Coordinate follow-up actions with internal teams such as Job prep, planning, service engineering, and technical specialists

  Ensure accurate documentation, administrative processing, and smooth case closure in the call-handling system
• Continuous Improvement & Team Contribution
  Actively contribute ideas to improve processes, service quality, and customer satisfaction
  Help shape how Technical Support evolves within the broader LPS organization
