Role Summary
CRP is hiring a remote Service Dispatcher based in Mexico to coordinate daily field operations for electrical work (with a focus on panel upgrades and related service calls).

Key Responsibilities

- Coordinate same‑day changes with technicians, customers, and internal teams to minimize downtime.
Customer & Field Communication
- Serve as the primary communication hub between customers and field teams.

Job Readiness & Documentation Handshake

Operational Tracking & Reporting
- Maintain accurate job status in company systems (CRM/field service/project management platform).
- Track KPIs such as on‑time arrival, schedule attainment, repeat visits, cancellation rate, and daily completed jobs.
- Identify bottlenecks (materials delays, permitting holds, access issues) and elevate early.
After‑Hours / Overflow Support (as needed)
- Support overflow scheduling, next‑day prep, and emergency calls based on defined coverage.
Required Qualifications
- 2+ years of dispatch experience in home services, construction trades, electrical/HVAC/plumbing, or field operations.

Preferred Qualifications
- Electrical services experience (panel upgrades a plus).
