Customer Service Representative / Sales & Scheduling Coordinator
Tigard, OR | Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
$22–$25/hour
Temp-to-Hire
In-Office
A growing and well-established home improvement company serving the Portland Metro and Vancouver Metro areas is looking for an experienced Customer Service Representative / Sales & Scheduling Coordinator to join their team.
This is more than a traditional customer service or receptionist position. You’ll be the first point of contact for homeowners, helping customers understand their service options, addressing questions and concerns, overcoming objections, and turning inbound calls and inquiries into scheduled jobs.
The right person is reliable, caring, detail-oriented, comfortable with sales, and able to learn and retain a lot of information quickly. You’ll work across multiple systems throughout the day while coordinating customers, schedules, field employees, and job details.
Construction or home improvement experience is a strong plus, but we are also interested in candidates with strong call-center, customer service, scheduling, or sales backgrounds who have the ability and drive to learn the industry.
Pay
$22–$25/hour, depending on experience
- Monthly performance bonus based on booking and customer-satisfaction goals
- Regular pay reviews
- Opportunity to grow into a Lead CSR / Office Manager role
