About the role
We are not looking for a traditional service advisor. We are hiring a Service Operations Coordinator — someone who can control the flow of a fast-moving shop, manage multiple jobs at once, and ensure nothing gets stuck, missed, or delayed.
Responsibilities
- Keep the shop moving — at all times.
- Dispatch and prioritize repair orders based on technician skill and workload.
- Track the status of every vehicle in the shop (nothing sits unnoticed).
- Follow up with technicians in real time — not at the end of the day.
- Identify bottlenecks and solve them before they become problems.
- Cook with parts, advisors, and management to keep workflow efficient.
- Ensure work is completed in the right order, at the right time, by the right person.
- Hold the standard on urgency, communication, and execution.
What We're Looking For
- You might come from: Logistics / dispatch (trucking, delivery, operations), Fleet or diesel maintenance shops, Manufacturing or production scheduling, Aviation maintenance coordination, High-volume service or collision centers.
- You will stand out if you:
- Naturally organize chaos and prioritize under pressure.
- Track multiple moving pieces without losing control.
- Relentlessly follow up without being asked.
- Take ownership when things fall behind and fix it.
- Communicate clearly and directly with a team.
What This Role Is Not For
- Someone who waits to be told what to do.
- Someone who gets overwhelmed when things get busy.
- Someone who avoids difficult conversations with technicians or team members.
- Someone who is focused only on customer interaction and not internal execution.
What Success Looks Like
- No stalled repair orders.
- Technicians are consistently working on the right jobs.
- Work is flowing efficiently from check-in to completion.
- Problems are identified early and handled quickly.
- The entire shop runs with urgency and clarity.
What You Get
- Competitive pay based on experience and performance.
- Opportunity to step into a leadership role within operations.
- A fast-paced environment where strong operators stand out quickly.
- A team that values execution, accountability, and growth.
