Submit required inspection and compliance documentation to customers, local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), or third-party reporting platforms, when applicable.
Maintain accurate customer records, service histories, scheduling data, and inspection documentation.
Support departmental goals by identifying opportunities to improve scheduling efficiency, technician utilization, customer satisfaction, and operational performance.
Perform other related duties as assigned.
