Who are we?
Mills Technologies is an established yet innovative company, with a well-respected name in the fast-growing field of home and commercial technology integration.
With roots that date back to 1939, Mills is a third-generation family-owned business that treats all our employees like members of our family. We advise, design, install and service technology systems for homes and businesses.The systems we provide include audio and music systems; televisions, presentation systems, and media rooms; data and Wi-Fi; lighting systems; motorized shades; and the means to control all this technology – plus a whole lot more! These systems may be installed in homes, condos, and businesses in the greater Chicago area and beyond.
Mills is known throughout Chicago for our unrelenting commitment to customer service. Many of our new clients are family and friends of our existing ones.
At Mills, our goal is to be our clients' trusted technology experts.
What would you be doing?
As the Service Coordinator/Office Administrator at Mills Technologies, your time will be spent ensuring our clients receive a world-class service and support experience 100% of the time. This will include working extensively within a suite of service tools that we have implemented, including our ticket-tracking system (don't worry, we'll train you on these tools). You will be responsible for ensuring follow-through in a timely manner, coordinating, and scheduling resources, and staying in close communication with our clients throughout the process. You will regularly check in with our technicians throughout the day to then manage and edit their schedules, if necessary.
While the majority of your time will involve service coordination tasks, the remainder of your time will be focused on general office administrative tasks such as:
Coordination with other contractors
Following up on status of equipment orders for service
Service billing
Scheduling of office maintenance
Scheduling of vehicle maintenance
Coordination of internal and external company events
Enter tracking information for orders
Purchase and restock office products, including staff wardrobe
Checking and sending mail
Scheduling travel
An affinity for picking up new software is imperative in this role! Ever heard of an air traffic controller? Take those responsibilities, transpose them into the office setting, and you've got a good roadmap for this role. This role is absolutely critical in keeping our service and office functions organized and moving in the right directions. To this end, it's also absolutely crucial that someone in this role is intrinsically motivated to make it their own- we don't micromanage here, and we expect you to "own" your work (you complete excellent work without having to be constantly directed, hint, hint).
Some days, your daily work will be planned and structured. However, ours is a fast-moving and dynamic line of work. Your priorities can shift at a moment's notice. You must be comfortable with this and willing to be an active participant in juggling multiple demands. We need someone who can take curveballs like a champ!
Finally, you will always be expected to treat our clients with patience and friendliness no matter how big or small their issue. Client service is something we hold sacred at our company, so it is of the utmost importance that you be willing and able to serve as a helping hand for our clients in their moment of need.
What should you bring to the table?
3+ years in a leading role providing white-glove customer service to a refined clientele
Highly organized, and dedicated to details and follow-through
Patient and friendly personality at all times
Excellent written and verbal communication skills – you know how to be clear, accurate, and concise
Resourceful and willing to patiently work through challenging situations
Ambition to strive for 100% client satisfaction at all times
Experience in the home technology business is a plus but not a requirement
Embodiment of the company's core values:
Honesty even when inconvenient
Does it right because it's the right thing to do
A great teammate
Takes responsibility for a complete, world-class customer experience.
Humbly brilliant
Who Fits In Here
Someone who puts client service first and foremost – and whose drive to help comes from within, not because they were told to.
Someone who always believes there's room for improvement, picks up the ball others may have dropped, and owns the outcome beyond just their job description.
Someone who leads with empathy – putting themselves in the client's shoes at every stage of the relationship.
Someone who is OK making a mistake – as long as they learn from it and don't repeat it.
Someone looking to build a long-term career at a stable, established company. About half of our team has been with Mills for over 10 years – and we'd love for you to be next.
Someone who works hard and plays hard – Mills values efficiency and dedication at work, and strongly encourages personal time for friends, family, and yourself.
Sound like you? We'd love to hear from you.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
