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 .
If you’ve worked in

dispatch, logistics, fleet maintenance, manufacturing scheduling, or a high-volume service environment , this role will feel familiar.

You are responsible for

keeping the shop moving — at all times .

Track the status of every vehicle in the shop (nothing sits unnoticed)

Ensure work is completed in the right order, at the right time, by the right person

You will stand out if you:
Naturally organize chaos and prioritize under pressure
Track multiple moving pieces without losing control
Follow up relentlessly without being asked
Take ownership when things fall behind and fix it
Communicate clearly and directly with a team
This Role Is NOT For Someone Who
