Associate Endoscope Repair Jobs in Seattle, WA (NOW HIRING)

BPI Medical is a leading provider of medical instrument and endoscope repair services. Founded in 1976 in Fife, Washington, we serve hospitals, surgery centers, and health systems across all 48 contiguous states with flexible endoscope repair, rigid endoscope repair, surgical instrument repair, power equipment repair, and mobile on-site service. We operate as an ISO 13485:2016 certified facility and are trusted by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, MultiCare Health System, Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, and other anchor health systems to keep critical surgical and diagnostic equipment in service.

Our work directly supports patient care: every device that comes through our facility goes back into service, often the same week, ready for the next procedure. We are growing — significantly — and we are investing in the people, systems, and processes that will let us keep delivering on what has been our standard since 1976: it has to be right, and it has to be fast, no exceptions.

As a Customer Service Associate at BPI Medical, you are the day-to-day point of contact for the hospitals, surgery centers, and clinics that send us their instruments and scopes. You take the calls and emails, build the quotes and work orders, enter orders accurately, and follow up until the work is approved, completed, and back in the customer's hands. When a customer wants to know where their scope is and when it is coming back, you are the person who knows.

This is a high-visibility, detail-oriented seat inside a fast-paced repair facility. You work shoulder to shoulder with Shipping and Receiving, Repair Scheduling, Production, and Accounting, and you report to the Customer Service Manager, who you escalate to when an order needs a decision above your level. Accuracy, responsiveness, and follow-through are what the job runs on, and there is room to grow here for someone who consistently demonstrates all three.

• Escalate complex pricing, quality, or relationship issues to the Customer Service Manager with the background needed to resolve them.

• Actively participate in BPI Medical's lean manufacturingoriented continuous improvement programs, including 5S, Kaizen, Kanban, valuestream mapping, and JIT, and surface recurring issues or bottlenecks you see in the workflow.
