As part of our Leadership Team I support a team of highly dedicated members of our organization. The team has grown over the last few years - up to 21 team members. These Service Administrators are the "jack of all trades"​ when it comes to Work Order Management. Our main focus is vendor management - we follow up to confirm the work has been completed / we teach vendors how to utilize our system to complete their work orders / we help the vendor get compliant/stay compliant. There are so many different processes (that change daily), this team has to know all the nuances of each type of work order and how to handle it. We are responsible for the data integrity of our SMS for vendor or technician call out order. We've introduced an intuitive program that has enhanced how we deliver work orders to our in house technical team. This "dispatch" team works hand in hand with our Tech Services Team. We also manage our Computerized Maintenance Management System. We are responsible for the data integrity of this information.
