This role focuses strictly on supporting national quick-serve restaurant (QSR) franchise initiatives, including new store construction (NRO), complete remodels, and technology refreshes.

- Scope of Work (SOW) Compliance: Review pre-construction blueprints and post-installation deliverables (such as cable test results, photos, and sign-offs) to ensure strict adherence to national brand standards.
- Escalation Management: Resolve critical site delays immediately, such as scheduling overlapping shifts if construction delays threaten a franchise's hard grand opening date.
- Assists with administrative duties including but not limited to coordinating travel, expense reimbursements, fleet monitoring, etc.
- Assist with running day-to-day operations of the Service department. This includes answering phones, getting techs set for the day, managing service tickets, etc.
- Practices open and transparent communications by updating our ticketing system and providing status updates to all applicable parties on progress towards issue resolution.
