About the Role

Our client is seeking a Technical Support Specialist to join their expanding remote support team.

  • Escalation & Documentation: Escalate complex cases to senior technicians as needed while maintaining clear, detailed case notes for continuity.

  • Customer Experience: Provide calm, empathetic, and professional support even in challenging situations, ensuring a positive customer experience.

  • Cross-Selling: Identify opportunities to recommend replacement parts, accessories, or related services to enhance customer satisfaction.

  • Follow-Up: Track pending service requests, especially when replacement parts are on backorder, and keep customers informed throughout the process.

  • Collaboration: Work closely with production and technical teams to ensure consistent service quality and knowledge sharing.

Required Qualifications

  • 2+ years of experience in technical support, field service, or equipment repair.

  • Hands-on experience with commercial washing machines, dryers, or similar commercial equipment (e.g., Whirlpool, Maytag, Speed Queen, Electrolux, etc.) is a strong plus.

  • Solid understanding of mechanical and electrical systems in commercial laundry or comparable equipment.

  • Ability to read and interpret technical manuals and schematics.

  • Exceptional communication and customer service abilities.

  • Strong problem-solving mindset with a structured approach to diagnosing issues.

  • Patience, empathy, and composure when dealing with frustrated customers.

  • High attention to detail—especially in documenting service cases.

Nice to Have

  • Prior experience in remote support environments or customer service for industrial/commercial products.

  • Experience in sales or cross-selling parts and services.

  • Background in appliance repair or maintenance for commercial-grade equipment.
