Customer Service Administrator M/F

Customer Service Administrator

We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Customer Service Administrator to join the MRO Storefront team during a period of significant transformation. This role will initially focus on supporting high-volume administrative and transactional activities required to stabilise and operate the current MRO Storefront, while progressively evolving into a customer-owned, end-to-end service role over time. At present, the Storefront function manages a substantial amount of manual and administrative work, including central inbox management, SAP data entry, unit induction, quoting activities, and coordination with MRO repair sites. The successful candidate will play a key role in executing these activities accurately and efficiently, ensuring continuity of service for customers and Repair Operations. The long-term objective—led by the MRO Storefront Team Leader and the Repair Operations Director—is to progressively eliminate manual and low-value administrative work through process improvement, automation, and system enhancements, enabling the full Storefront team to transition to a customer-based operating model. By the end of 2026, the target state is for each CSR to have ownership of a defined group of customers, managing the MRO process end-to-end from induction to invoicing, supported by a mature, standardised, and automated process framework. This evolution will be enabled through structured training, capability development, and phased organisational change. What will your day-to-day responsibilities look like? Initial focus (current-state responsibilities): • Manage high-volume administrative tasks supporting MRO Storefront operations, including: o Monitoring and managing the central Storefront inbox. o Performing manual SAP transactions, including unit inductions, order creation, and quotation setup. o Supporting the quotation process, including customer interactions and coordination with MRO repair sites. • Respond to customer inquiries, providing accurate status updates and information. • Coordinate closely with external MRO repair sites to gather technical, scheduling, and pricing inputs. • Maintain accurate and complete data within SAP and supporting systems, ensuring traceability and compliance. • Support order management, scheduling alignment, and customer communication across the repair lifecycle. • Assist with invoice query resolution and turnback collection activities, escalating issues as required. • Report operational issues through the Quality, Cost, Delivery, People, Safety (QCPC) process. • Escalate complex customer or operational issues to the MRO Storefront Team Leader.

What will you bring to the role? Essential skills and experience: • Strong customer service mindset with clear, professional communication skills. • Experience in an administrative, customer service, or operational support role within an Aftermarket, MRO, or service-driven environment. • High attention to detail and comfort working with manual, transactional system activities. • Working knowledge of SAP (Sales & Distribution modules preferred) or similar ERP systems. • Ability to work in a structured, process-driven environment while adapting to change. • Willingness to learn end-to-end MRO processes and progressively take on increased responsibility. Desirable skills and experience: • Exposure to aerospace MRO or defence-related environments. • Understanding of quoting, invoicing, turnback management, or cash-collection processes. • Awareness of export control requirements, including EUUs and export licences. • Familiarity with Continuous Improvement or Lean principles. • Aspiration to develop into a full customer-ownership role within a customer-based Storefront organisation.
