QualificationsAbout the Role
At Kennicott, the CSR position is where customer relationships live.

This role sits at the intersection of sales, service, and relationships, and the people who do it well take real pride in the experience they create.
If you thrive in a fast-moving environment, enjoy real variety in your day, and take satisfaction in being the person who knows the answer — this is a strong fit.

- Assist customers through orders and purchases, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.
- Identify and capture upsell opportunities naturally during customer interactions.
- Partner with the branch team to support a seamless customer experience.
Relationship Management

- Gather and share customer feedback with sales and product teams to help improve what we offer.
Records & Administration
