Description
Position Overview
DWC Mechanical is seeking a customer-focused Commercial Customer Service Coordinator to serve as a primary point of contact for our commercial service customers.
This role is centered on building strong customer relationships, handling incoming service requests, providing timely updates, preparing quotes, and ensuring customers receive responsive, professional support from the initial call through completion of service.
