Description
Johnson RV is looking for sharp problem-solvers to join our service team. If you're a fast learner with strong computer skills, focused customer service, and a knack for staying organized, we can teach you the rest. We invest in you; Service Advisors every year get an average of 100 hours’ classroom-style in-house training from leading industry experts plus daily on-the-job training. All service staff have the opportunity to complete RVTI (RV Technical Institute) certification, so you'll build real, portable industry credentials on our dime.
This is a fast-paced, people-facing role. You'll be the main point of contact between our customers and our technicians — greeting customers, scheduling and tracking work orders, explaining repairs and costs clearly, and keeping everyone in the loop from drop-off to pickup. You'll juggle multiple systems and shifting priorities throughout the day, so being organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable navigating software (dealer management software, email, spreadsheets, etc.) matters just as much as your people skills.
If you're naturally curious, quick to pick up new tools and processes, and take pride in doing things right the first time, we want to talk to you — RV background optional, sharp mind required.
