Build Trust. Own Service Execution. Faris Machinery is seeking a Customer Solutions Leader to own service execution and customer experience at our Colorado Springs branch. This is not a traditional Service Advisor role — and it's not a back‐office admin position. This is a front‐line execution leadership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of customers, technicians, and real-world problem solving, and who wants the authority to make decisions that actually move work forward.

Decision Authority You have authority to: Prioritize shop vs. field work Assign technicians to jobs Set and communicate service timelines Approve work readiness before dispatch Escalate customer or scope issues to the Market Leader You do not own billing, warranty processing, or inventory control — those are centralized by design.
