Vacancy

Acquisition based on this advertisement is not appreciated. We usually fill the vacancies ourselves and in exceptional cases we work with preferred suppliers.

As a Service Planner at EuroSort you are responsible for the planning of the Service Engineers who perform preventive maintenance at (international) customers. You take care and coordinate their planning and schedule the maintenance assignments. In this role, you constantly liaise between the customer and the Service Engineers to coordinate matters and to ensure that preventive maintenance takes place correctly and on time at the customer's premises. You are also the contact person for customers that have service-related issues and give them advice (by phone).

Besides scheduling assignments, you monitor their progress and ensure that the customer is served as stipulated in the maintenance contract. In addition you are in contact with various internal and external stakeholders to ensure that there are enough proper parts, tools and labor available during preventive maintenance. You also arrange other operational matters, such as booking flight and accommodation when Service Engineers need to be abroad for an appointment. You are part of team Service & Support, which consists of a Front Office and a Back Office.

As a Service Planner, you are part of the Front Office team, which has about five to eight employees. Furthermore, you have a lot of internal contact with the Technical Specialist and the Service Engineers.

If you enjoy constantly switching between the customers and the Service Engineers and find it challenging to always look for the best solutions while planning, then this is a job for you.

Firsthand experience

A customer cancels last-minute an appointment that was made to perform preventive maintenance. What do you do?

Appointments for preventive maintenance are usually made far in advance and in consultation with both the customer and the Service Engineers. When an appointment is cancelled, it is your job to schedule a new assignment at short notice. First, you go into the scheduling system to see if alternative dates are available. If so, you try to reschedule other appointments so that Service Engineers are available on that day. You constantly switch between the customer and the Service Engineers to find suitable solutions and schedule appointments.

Growth

Personal development is very important at EuroSort. That's why there are many opportunities to attend training and courses. EuroSort is currently developing a training policy to concretize this.
