A QCS must be committed to the core values of the company and must show the potential to coach others to higher levels of execution.

At any time, and especially during the winter months, the service technician and QCS may be asked to assist with various company initiatives.

Travel: The service technician and QCS roles are likely to involve occasional travel for company training, and projects. At times, business demand or weather events may require that the service technician and/or QCS spend time working in other company locations.

Requirements

• Basic knowledge of roofing systems (and ability to learn quickly) with overall technical proficiency
• Physical fitness sufficient to perform tasks that can be demanding at times
• Problem-solving ability to troubleshoot roofing (and related) issues: ability to identify symptoms and systematically eliminate potential causes until solving the issue
• Written and verbal professionalism
• Customer service skills (listening, positive communication, patience)
• Competence in grammar and spelling preferred
• Ability to send clear and mistake-free written communications
• Good phone demeanor and tone
• Ability to organize many competing and concurrent workstreams, while prioritizing and following through on commitments
