We're looking for a Project Engineer & Customer Experience Liaison - Field Service Migration to serve as both the operational backbone of our Field Service Migration and the voice of the customer throughout the journey. In this highly visible role, you'll keep projects organized, coordinate cross-functional teams, remove obstacles, and ensure every decision supports an exceptional customer experience.

As we transition from Key2Act's Wennsoft Service module on our legacy Great Plains ERP to BuildOps, you'll help drive a successful implementation that improves the daily experience of approximately 350 service employees - while ensuring customers experience a seamless transition.

  • Support cross-functional teams by identifying risks, resolving blockers, and ensuring accountability across workstreams.
  • Champion the customer experience by validating that new processes improve-not disrupt-the customer journey.
  • Partner with business, operations, and IT teams to support testing, training, readiness activities, and a successful BuildOps go-live.
  • Help establish sustainable documentation, processes, and best practices that support long-term operational excellence.
The Role

The Project Engineer & Customer Experience Liaison reports to Reed Powell, Director of Service Operations, and works closely with Service Operations, Dispatch, Field Leadership, IT, Project Teams, and other business stakeholders to ensure the successful delivery of one of the company's most strategic initiatives.

  9. Experience supporting ERP, field service, or business system implementations is a plus.
Key Responsibilities

  • Research implementation challenges and partner with stakeholders to develop practical solutions.
  • Review workflows from the customer's perspective and recommend improvements that enhance the overall experience.
  • Support User Acceptance Testing (UAT), training preparation, go-live readiness, and post-launch stabilization activities.
  • Maintain project documentation, decision logs, and readiness checklists throughout the implementation.
  • Facilitate communication between operations, field teams, IT, and project stakeholders to ensure alignment across the organization.
