Job description

Who We Are

At SMS Assist, we’re not just in the business of fixing properties—we’re fixing an entire industry. Typically, facilities maintenance is tough work—both in the nature of the job (plumbing, HVAC, snow removal) and the lack of clarity throughout the experience. We decided a better way wasn’t only possible, but essential. Through our award-winning technology platform, built and powered by SMSers, we connect local contractors to our customers and help manage an experience that surpasses expectations.

Recognized on Forbes’ Cloud 100 list, Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, Chicago Crain’s Top Tech Employers, and more, SMS Assist manages more than 186,000 properties where people live and work. Our customers’ livelihoods are in our hands—think a restaurant manager whose only fryer goes down on a busy Friday night or a family in Florida without power after a hurricane. We work across the industries that make up your community, including retail, food service, banking, residential, and more, and we help them find the right provider in our network (we call them Affiliates) in more than 45 trades.

We’re innovators, disruptors, and out-of-the-box thinkers. We set each other up for success in the office and for the perfect spike on the volleyball court during an intramural game. We’re community volunteers, karaoke partners, and lifelong friends. We’re passionate about the people we serve, and we give our all because we care. We want to make every property better, and we want your help to make it happen

What we do

Let’s say a resident has a leaking toilet. That resident can submit a work order request through an app using their smart phone, the website using a desktop computer, or by calling in the request and speaking to one of our customer service representatives (maybe you!). After the work order has been created, our system and dispatch team send it to a qualified plumber in our network. Our Follow Up Team then ensures the toilet gets fixed in a timely manner and the resident is kept updated along the way.

Job Duties

This includes helping the resident try to troubleshoot the issue, identifying the severity of the issue, and qualifying the work order to ensure the work is sent to the right vendor (45% of day) Assisting residents seeking assistance with existing open work order issues. This includes providing the most recent update, connecting them to the assigned vendor, and/or escalating the work order to our escalations department (35% of day) Inbound phone calls from our vendor network, guiding them through our requirements and making work order updates when needed (10% of day) Outbound resident communications via phone, email, and text (5% of day) Team meetings, open forum to ask questions, and review of policy and procedure updates (5% of day)
