Minimum 3 years customer-facing service writer/advisor experience (equipment, automotive, powersports, or heavy truck preferred)

Proven ability to translate customer requests into precise technical descriptions

Exceptional listening skills and emotional intelligence under pressure

Strong computer proficiency — comfortable learning new DMS/CRM systems (we currently use ASPEN)

Excellent written and verbal communication — grammar, tone, and clarity matter

Ability to stand/walk for extended periods and occasionally assist with moving smaller equipment
