Guilford, Connecticut | Full-Time | On-Site
Build a career where experience still matters.
Every day there are headlines about AI replacing office jobs and customer service roles. At George Schmitt & Co., Inc, we believe something different: when customers have a critical deadline, a production issue, or a complex project, they don't want a chatbot—they want an experienced professional who can solve problems, communicate clearly, and take ownership.
If you're looking for a stable career with a respected manufacturing company where your judgment and customer service skills make a real difference, we'd like to meet you.
About George Schmitt & Co.

The Position
As a Customer Service Representative / Account Coordinator, you'll play a central role in supporting our customers and ensuring projects move smoothly from order entry through production and final delivery.
This is not a high-volume call center position.

- Coordinate production schedules and delivery requirements.
- Communicate order status, timelines, and project updates.
- Partner with production, purchasing, quality, scheduling, and shipping teams.
- Resolve issues proactively and prevent delays whenever possible.
- Support customer projects from initial order through successful delivery.
- Build trusted, long-term relationships with assigned accounts.
- Ensure accuracy, responsiveness, and outstanding customer service.
Preferred Qualifications
We're seeking someone who enjoys helping customers and takes pride in getting the details right.
Experience in one or more of the following is highly valued:
- Manufacturing customer service
- Account coordination or account management support
- Order management
- Packaging or printing
- Distribution or logistics
- Healthcare or medical device industries
- Industrial products
- Inside sales support
- Business-to-business customer support
Successful candidates are typically organized, dependable, proactive, collaborative, and able to manage multiple priorities while maintaining excellent communication.
Why Join George Schmitt & Co.?

- Collaborative team environment where your ideas and contributions matter.
- Opportunity to develop professionally while supporting customers in critical industries.
- A role where problem-solving, ownership, and strong relationships are valued every day.
Technology will continue to evolve, but we believe exceptional customer service is still built on trust, accountability, and knowledgeable people who care about their customers' success.
If you're looking for more than just another office job—and want to join a company where your experience is respected and your work has visible impact—we encourage you to apply.
