• Manage reschedule requests and coordinate with routing to minimize customer impact and operational disruption
• Escalate unresolved service issues, damage claims, or customer complaints to the market manager with full documentation

Route Audits & Performance Review

• Conduct daily and weekly route audits to verify stop completion, time‑on‑site accuracy, sequence adherence, and overall route efficiency
• Identify routing inefficiencies, recurring delay patterns, or capacity misalignments and recommend corrective adjustments
• Review driver and crew performance data against route expectations, flagging discrepancies for manager review
• Support the preparation of market‑level performance summaries and operational reporting for leadership review

Proof of Delivery (POD) Audits

• Audit proof of delivery documentation for all completed stops, ensuring photos, customer signatures, installation confirmations, and exception notes are captured accurately and completely
• Identify and resolve POD gaps, missing documentation, or discrepancies that could impact customer billing, claims resolution, or compliance requirements
• Communicate POD deficiencies to drivers and crews, reinforcing documentation standards and accountability
• Maintain organized records of POD exceptions and resolutions to support trend analysis and process improvement

On‑Site Operational Support

• Maintain a consistent on‑site presence within the assigned market to provide direct support to the market manager and delivery operations
• Assume operational responsibilities in the market manager’s absence, ensuring continuity of route execution, driver communication, and customer service
• Assist with pre‑shift planning, vehicle/crew readiness checks, and end‑of‑day route close‑out procedures as needed
• Act as a liaison between field operations and corporate support teams, ensuring timely communication and issue resolution
• Other duties as assigned

• Excellent organizational skills with strong attention to detail, particularly in documentation, auditing, and data accuracy
• Clear, professional verbal and written communication skills for both customer‑facing and internal stakeholder interactions

Preferred:
