Geri's Post - Customer Service Training

Friday, December 18, 2015 0 Comments A+ a-


As part of my training, I spend each Thursday afternoon learning a different part of the Customer Service Assistant role. So far I have spent time with colleagues from the Distribution team, who are responsible for looking after customers who buy our products in bulk (wholesalers) to sell onto other companies in smaller quantities and also the Direct team, who look after customers who use our products to manufacture the end product to sell on.
During my training, they have shown me a range of things including:

  • How to complete GNRs (Goods return notice, this is the process we have to follow when a customer returns a product to allow it to be credited and put back onto stock)  
  • Updating price sheets
  • How to organise a workflow
  • Who to ring when I need specific information

When I am not spending time with someone one on one, I organise orders in the systems and arrange deliveries, this all gives me the opportunity to speak to customers and develop my confidence on the telephone.

Lewis's Post - 3rd Year Fabrication with the Christof Group

During my last six months I have spent my time with the Christof fabrication Team. The Christof Company are contracted in by EGGER to support the Mechanical Engineering department and their team is made up of 7 Fabricators and one Machinist.
During our apprenticeship we are required to spend 6 months with them, gaining a large amount of specific fabrication skills which can be applied a variety of jobs. These skills are acquired on a day to day basis while fabricating large and intricate structures.

These skills include:

·         MIG/TIG/MMA Welding
      ·         Oxyacetylene cutting
      ·         Grinding
      ·         Bending
      ·         Tool sharpening
      ·         Plasma Cutting
      ·         Rolling sheet metal
      ·         Using our automated bender

During this 6 months, I have contributed to large renewal projects which have been completed by the Christof team alongside EGGER’s Mechanical Engineering department.

The job I have benefitted from the most was the hacked chip push floor renewal, as this job included all of the skills listed above as we had to fabricate and install the floor.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with Chirstof and this month I will be starting the shift working part of my apprenticeship, which means working with our highly skilled Mechanical Engineering shift team.

Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you have found it interesting! Geri will write our next blog and give you an insight into the training she is currently doing.
