    About Us

    Total Repair Pros is a South Florida appliance, plumbing, electrical, and air conditioning repair company that's been keeping local homes running for over 55 years.

    About the Role

    This is a hybrid customer service and service writer position. This person is literally the voice of the company when the customer calls. You'll answer inbound calls, book service appointments, and keep our schedule running, but you'll also own the paperwork side of every job: opening work orders, writing up what the customer described, building estimates with the technician's findings, explaining pricing to customers, and closing out invoices. You're the link between the customer and the tech from first call to final payment.

    We're looking for someone sharp, organized, and personable who can juggle a ringing phone, a technician texting from the field, and a customer at the counter without dropping any of them.

    What You'll Do

    Customer service side:

    Answer inbound calls, texts, and emails from customers and respond professionally and quickly

    Book service appointments and coordinate the daily schedule with our dispatch board

    Communicate arrival windows, delays, and job updates to customers so nobody is left wondering

    Follow up after completed jobs to confirm the customer is happy and resolve anything that isn't right

    Handle billing questions, reschedules, and warranty inquiries with patience and accuracy

    De-escalate frustrated customers (a broken appliance is stressful, and you get that) and turn a bad day into a good review

    Service writer side:

    Open and maintain accurate work orders: customer info, appliance or system details, symptoms described, and work performed

    Translate what the customer tells you ("it's making a weird noise and leaking") into clear, actionable notes the technician can work from

    Prepare and explain estimates and repair options to customers in plain language, including parts and labor

    Track open jobs from diagnosis through parts ordering to completed repair, and keep customers updated at every stage

    Process payments, close out invoices, and keep records clean

    Relay parts availability, callbacks, and job status between technicians, suppliers, and customers

    What We're Looking For

    Attitude and aptitude come first. If you've never worked in appliance, plumbing, or AC repair, that's fine. We'll teach you the industry. What we can't teach:

    You genuinely like talking to people, on your hundredth call of the week as much as your first

    You're organized. Nothing falls through the cracks on your watch

    You write clearly and type comfortably, and details like model numbers and apartment gate codes don't slip past you

    You stay calm when three things happen at once

    You take ownership. When a customer has a problem, you don't hand it off, you see it through

    You're reliable. Our techs and customers count on this seat being filled every day

    Nice to have (not required):

    Experience in customer service, dispatch, front desk, hospitality, or retail

    Experience as a service writer or advisor in any trade (auto, HVAC, appliance, plumbing)

    Familiarity with scheduling or field service software (we'll train you on ours)

    Bilingual English/Spanish (or French, Russian, etc) is a plus in our market

    Requirements

    Comfortable working on a computer all day (multiple systems, data entry, email)

    Able to work in office in Hallandale Beach, Monday through Friday, 8 to 5 (alternative schedules available, such as Tues to Sat 9-6, etc - but this is a 40 hour/week role)

    Professional phone presence

    Excellent grammar skills (customers text as much as they phone)

    Compensation and Benefits

    $17 to $20 per hour, based on experience

    Full time, steady weekday schedule, no nights, no Sundays (unless you prefer an alternative schedule, such as Tues-Sat or Wed-Sun)
