- Own and drive the outlet’s service efficiency metrics in line with the Monnoyeur AG Division’s hours funnel framework, tracking and improving performance across the full cascade: Utilization (recorded hours vs. legal available hours), Productivity (productive hours vs. recorded hours), Efficiency (billed hours vs. recorded hours), and Billing Efficiency (billed hours vs. revenue hours).
- Monitor and manage Labor Sales Variation (LSV) — actual labor turnover vs. theoretical labor turnover — identifying where revenue is lost through unbilled hours, billing delays, or unrecovered warranty labor, and taking corrective action.
- Track non-productive hours (internal tasks, waiting for parts, waiting for instructions, cleaning) and implement targeted actions to reduce non-productive time as a percentage of total available hours.
- Analyze rework rates and “first-time fix” performance, identifying root causes of repeat interventions and implementing corrective measures in collaboration with the Area Service Manager and Technical Training \& Support Specialist.
- Manage overtime levels, ensuring that overtime is used strategically to meet seasonal demand peaks rather than as a symptom of inefficient planning or unbalanced workload distribution.
- Prepare and present monthly service efficiency reports to the Branch Manager and After-Sales Manager, covering the hours funnel, KPI trends, revenue performance, and action plans for improvement.

Reporting to the Branch Manager with a dotted-line reporting relationship to the After-Sales Manager, the Service Responsible manages a team of Service Technicians and Mechanic Technicians, drives service efficiency KPIs aligned with the Monnoyeur AG Division’s hours funnel framework (utilization, productivity, efficiency, LSV), and ensures that all service operations comply with manufacturer standards and IPSO Tarım’s quality requirements.

Job Description
- Plan, schedule, and assign all workshop and field service interventions across the technician team, balancing workload distribution, skill levels, and customer urgency to maximize first-visit resolution and minimize downtime.

- Oversee the execution of pre-delivery inspections (PDI), product improvement programs (PIP), Expert Check campaigns, and seasonal preparation activities, ensuring timely completion to manufacturer and company standards.
- Coordinate with the CSR and Sales team to prioritize service requests, manage customer expectations on repair timelines and costs, and ensure seamless handovers between sales, service, and parts functions.
- Monitor Work-in-Progress (WIP) levels daily, driving timely job closure and invoicing to prevent revenue leakage and ensure that completed work is billed within the current reporting period.
