About the Role — As a Customer Service Coordinator, you’ll be the first point of contact for Whirlpool customers and installers — managing inquiries, resolving issues, and ensuring escalations are addressed within strict service-level agreements (SLAs). This role requires deep logistics customer service experience, as you’ll handle scheduling, rescheduling, order updates, installer escalations, and follow-up calls while maintaining strong communication across customers, Whirlpool, and CRST’s internal teams. From performance tracking to problem resolution, you’ll help deliver on CRST’s promise of safe, reliable, and responsive service.

What You’ll Do

• Answer inbound calls from Whirlpool customers and provide timely information and support
• Call customers to provide time windows for upcoming services and complete follow-up calls, including 5 Star Survey reminders
• Receive warm leads and process product sales quickly and accurately
• Record, track, and escalate issues to Whirlpool and CRST managers when necessary
• Manage service orders, upload documentation, and update Whirlpool’s systems with accurate information
• Track installer escalations and provide updates to supervisors and managers
• Perform daily tasks including inventory scans, service order updates, and paperwork completion
• Answer and resolve Whirlpool escalations within SLA timelines
• Act as a liaison between Whirlpool customers, CRST service teams, and internal departments to ensure clear communication and resolution

What Great Looks Like

• Calm under pressure and able to manage multiple Whirlpool customer needs at once
• Clear, empathetic communicator who listens and responds effectively
• Detail-oriented with strong follow-through on documentation and service updates
• Positive, team-first attitude with a focus on solutions
• Driven to meet Whirlpool’s service-level expectations and customer satisfaction goals

  • High school diploma or GED
  • Proven experience in logistics customer service (transportation, distribution, or related industry)
  • Strong communication skills, verbal and written
