Service Dispatcher
About the Role
The Service Dispatcher will be the central point of coordination for the service team, connecting customers who need help with the technicians who solve their problems. You’ll build daily schedules, match technicians to service calls, and make decisions based on skill, location, availability, urgency, and cost. Your role keeps the service office running smoothly through data entry, billing and contract support, parts ordering, purchasing, inventory management, and customer communication. Your ability to stay organized and make good decisions in a fast-moving environment will directly impact response times, customer satisfaction, and field team productivity.
This position is the central coordination point between customers, technicians, and the service team—a mix of scheduling, problem-solving, customer service, and administrative support. It’s a fast-paced role where priorities can change throughout the day, and your decisions directly affect technician productivity, customer satisfaction, and service response times. You’ll develop a strong understanding of HVAC service operations and the business behind the field work.
This role is not simply answering phones and assigning the next available technician, nor is it a predictable scheduling role where every day follows the same plan. You’ll need to recognize issues, communicate quickly, and take action—waiting for problems to resolve themselves is not an option.
