Order processing in service centers is divided into several stages. The main work, namely the repair of devices, is carried out by engineers. Specialists carry out repairs of devices of various manufacturers, models and level of complexity. Since new models are constantly appearing on the market, engineers must track all changes and improve their skills, studying new devices, their technical stuffing, and features.

The main duties of an engineer in the SC

Among the main responsibilities of the service center engineers are the following:

• diagnostics of the device for repair;
• identification of technical problems and what repairs need to be performed;
• selection of spare parts;
• control of consumables and correct use of equipment;
• repairs of varying complexity;
• use of work programs;
• comprehensive customer service;
• completion of the revision;
• maintaining a good reputation of the company;
• preparation of reports;
• development of proposals for improving the service;
• compliance with safety regulations;
• polite attitude towards clients;
• training.

Additional responsibilities of engineers are assigned by the head of the service, depending on the specifics, features of the company, the service sector of devices.

What difficulties arise in the work of an engineer

The job of an engineer in a service center is varied and sometimes unpredictable. The number of work volumes may differ on different days, depending on the number of orders. It is important to distribute requests evenly and prioritize each task. When an engineer has a lot of work, then without the maintenance program, you can forget about some orders or skip deadlines.

Sometimes the service center receives devices that need spare parts to repair. During the diagnosis, the specialist determines which parts need to be installed. However, he does not always know what spare parts are in stock and what needs to be ordered from the supplier.

Another problem is complex repairs. Sometimes there are technical breakdowns that the engineer has not encountered before. In this case, you need to find information about the specifics of the repair, select materials and develop an algorithm. All developments should be saved for the future. To keep abreast of device updates and features of its maintenance, a specialist must regularly improve his qualifications, study the market, and track new items.

These and other problems in the work of a service engineer cannot be solved without a professional program. The software should contain all types of maintenance, a list of customers, orders, have options for communicating with the warehouse and suppliers, control the timing of work. One of the best solutions is to use the specialized cloud program Gincore.
