Nice to have

SGS Maco offers you a position with the necessary responsibility. Your salary is market-conform and aligns with the experience you bring.

In addition, we offer you a good package of secondary employment conditions, such as:

  • A challenging position for 36 to 40 hours; less is not feasible due to the volume of work.
  • An appointment with a view to permanent employment
  • 30 vacation days
  • On-the-job training by your colleagues
  • The possibility to follow a training and/or education course.

The role

Do you love dynamism and telephone customer contact with our international clients?
Are you also meticulous? Then come work at SGS Maco!

The front office is the link between our client and the declarant teams. It is a small team of two colleagues that makes a major contribution to the experience the customer has with SGS Maco and plays a crucial role in an efficient work process. As a front office employee, you are part of a larger customer experience.

Your role within SGS Maco
As a front office employee, you process incoming orders from our customers. You screen the order for completeness, and as you build more knowledge, you will also perform a light substantive check to assess whether the information provided is correct. After that, you prepare the order for the declarants.

You answer incoming telephone calls from customers. You can answer some of the questions yourself, and in other cases, you transfer the customer to a declarant. As the linchpin, you ensure that customers are satisfied and your colleagues can do their work well.
