The Dispatch Supervisor leads the daily work of the dispatch team, maintains shift coverage, optimizes technician schedules, and serves as the first point of escalation for operational issues. This hands-on leader will coach dispatchers, tracks shift performance, reinforces approved procedures, and elevates complex or recurring concerns to the Dispatch Assistant Manager.
