Partner proactively with store personnel to gather complete and accurate information regarding maintenance issues, required actions, and business impact, ensuring timely documentation and minimizing delays in service delivery.

2)Troubleshooting and Support

Serve as the primary point of contact for maintenance-related inquiries, diagnosing issues and facilitating remote resolutions whenever possible. Assess repair requirements and determine the most effective resource solution by leveraging internal technicians, approved vendors, or other available resources based on urgency, complexity, cost, and service needs. Communicate repair scope, expectations, and timelines to service providers while negotiating pricing and not-to-exceed limits to support budget objectives.

3)Follow-Up and Resolution

Manage work orders throughout the full repair lifecycle, monitoring progress, documenting updates, communicating estimated completion timelines, and ensuring stakeholder visibility.

Maintain accurate records and documentation to support business reporting, compliance requirements, audits, and operational decision-making.

6)Cost Control and Budget Awareness

Manage maintenance expenditures by accurately creating and coding purchase orders, reviewing invoices for accuracy and compliance with negotiated pricing, and ensuring proper invoice reconciliation and payment processing.
