• Create and maintain structured spare parts data for upload into Easyparts, SAP and Oracle, ensuring compliance with Johnson Controls global standards.
• Support Install Base creation and maintenance for IREF units and compressors sold in EMEA.
• Handle technical enquiries via Zendesk, ensuring timely and accurate responses.
• Collaborate with engineering, procurement, warehouse and product management teams to resolve part discrepancies and validate inventory.
• Support Critical Spare Parts Lists and participate in global ECN (Engineering Change Notice) processes.

What we look for

• 3–5 years of experience within OEM Industrial Refrigeration, compressors or aftermarket operations.
• Strong understanding of Sabroe products, including:

• Industrial refrigeration systems using ammonia, CO₂ or other natural refrigerants
• Experience with spare parts identification and interpreting engineering drawings and technical documentation.
• Experience working with SAP and Oracle ERP systems.
• Strong Excel skills (e.g. VLOOKUP, pivot tables, data cleansing).
• Strong analytical skills with attention to detail and data integrity.
• Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities and collaborate across functions.
• Clear and effective communication skills and a customer‑oriented mindset.

Preferred

• Prior experience with Johnson Controls or Sabroe aftermarket operations.
• Knowledge of UniSAB control systems, Sabroe chillers, heat pumps or vessels.
