Project Coordinator – National Accounts
When a customer's lights go out or critical electrical equipment fails, they don't have time to wait — and neither do you. Join Loeb Electric as the person our national account customers count on to find the right part, fast, when something breaks in the field.
This isn't a role for someone who wants a predictable project plan. It's for someone who thrives on solving problems in real time — digging into spec sheets to find the right replacement for outdated technology, checking our own stock before anywhere else, and building the documentation that makes the next fire easier to put out. If you've got the tenacity to chase down a hard answer, the detail orientation to get it exactly right, and the customer instincts to keep people calm while you do it, we want to talk to you.
