The Field Service Manager (FSM) is a fundamental contributor to the U.S. Service Operations (USSO) service delivery concept. The FSM serves as the local face and voice of Schneider Electric to our customers and our Field Service Representatives (FSRs) and reports to the Regional Service Director (RSD). The goal of USSO is to construct a Service organization that reflects the specific local needs of our customers and market, while retaining a consistent global level of service delivery. This requires a strong and independent local Service management presence. The primary role of the FSM is coordinating the relationships among our customers and field employees while following our corporate initiatives and policies.

Long-term resource planning and short-term problem-solving creates challenges that require experience, fast-paced decision-making, dedication, and imagination are essential. The principle goals for the FSM are: 1) provide safe work environments for FSRs, 2) manage productivity levels of field service operations, 2) control and reduce operating costs, 4) exceed financial gross margin, 5) achieve better First Time Start Up (FTSU) and First Time Fix Rates (FTFR), 6) control overtime, and 7) improve customer satisfaction and employee engagement. Key performance indicators (KPIs) will be created to address each of these goals.
