- Manage a company service vehicle, including stocking and organizing replacement parts, tools, and consumables needed for scheduled and unscheduled service calls
- Document all field service activity accurately in the work order and ticketing system, including parts used, labor performed, photos, and resolution notes, to maintain complete service records
