Dispatch Manager

Four Seasons Heating, Air Conditioning, Plumbing, Sewer & Electric Bridgeview, IL | On-Site | Full-Time $65,000 – $85,000/year (base) + Bonus Opportunities

About Four Seasons

Four Seasons Heating, Air Conditioning, Plumbing, Sewer & Electric is a trusted, growing home services company serving the Chicagoland area. We take pride in our reputation for quality workmanship, responsive service, and a customer-first culture — and we're looking for a Dispatch Manager who can lead our dispatch operation with the same standard of excellence.

The Role

We're seeking a hands-on, high-energy Dispatch Manager to lead our dispatch team and field service support staff. This is a highly visible, high-demand leadership role at the center of our daily operations — you'll be the connective tissue between our Supervisors, dispatchers, technicians, and customers, ensuring every call is scheduled, staffed, and executed flawlessly.

The ideal candidate is a strong people leader who thrives under pressure, builds great teams, and isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves during peak season. This role requires flexibility beyond a standard 9-to-5 — including after-hours phone availability, weekend responsiveness, and covering shifts when the business needs it most.

What You'll Do

Leadership & Team Management

• Directly manage a team of Dispatch Supervisors and field service support personnel
• Recruit, train, mentor, and develop dispatch staff to build a high-performing, accountable team
• Foster a positive, disciplined culture centered on urgency, ownership, and customer service excellence
• Conduct regular coaching sessions, performance reviews, and team meetings
• Set clear expectations and hold team members accountable to KPIs and standards

Scheduling & Dispatch Operations

• Oversee daily scheduling and dispatching of technicians across HVAC, plumbing, sewer, and electric service lines
• Optimize technician routing and scheduling to maximize efficiency, minimize windshield time, and meet customer commitments
• Monitor real-time call volume and adjust staffing/scheduling to match demand
• Manage extended hours, overflow, and emergency scheduling during high-demand periods (seasonal peaks, storms, emergencies)
• Ensure appropriate shift coverage at all times, including stepping in personally when gaps arise

Availability & Responsiveness

• Serve as an escalation point for after-hours calls and urgent dispatch issues
• Be responsive and available on weekends as needed to support ongoing operations
• Cover additional shifts as business needs require, including early mornings, evenings, and weekends during peak seasons
• Maintain a "hands-on" presence — this is not a 9-5, hands-off management role

Execution & Performance

• Monitor daily/weekly dispatch metrics (first-time fix rate, on-time arrival, technician utilization, call-to-schedule ratio, etc.)
• Partner with Sales, Operations, and Service Leadership to align dispatch execution with company goals
• Identify process gaps and implement improvements to dispatch workflows and procedures
• Ensure high levels of customer satisfaction through efficient, accurate, and timely scheduling

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 3+ years of experience in a Dispatch Supervisor or Dispatch Manager role within the home services industry (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, or related trades strongly preferred)
• Proven experience managing and developing a team of supervisors and/or field support staff
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-volume environment
• Demonstrated leadership ability — someone who can train, coach, and hold people accountable while building team morale
• Comfortable and available for after-hours calls, weekend responsiveness, and flexible/extended shift coverage
• Proficiency with dispatch/scheduling software and CRM systems (e.g., ServiceTitan or similar platforms) preferred
• Excellent communication skills — calm under pressure, clear with instructions, and customer-focused
• A "get it done" mentality — willing to jump in and cover shifts or solve problems hands-on when needed
• High school diploma or equivalent required; additional education or certifications in business/operations management a plus

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary: $65,000 – $85,000/year, based on experience
• Bonus opportunities tied to team and operational performance
• Opportunity to build and shape a growing team and department
• A stable, established company with a strong local reputation
• Health benefits, paid time off, and additional company benefits
• A collaborative leadership team that values culture, development, and results

Schedule Expectations

This is an on-site, in-location position based in Bridgeview, IL. Given the nature of home services dispatch, this role requires:

• Availability for after-hours phone support as issues arise
• Responsiveness on weekends
• Willingness to cover additional shifts during high call-volume periods or staffing gaps
• Extended hours during peak scheduling/demand seasons (e.g., summer AC season, winter heating emergencies)

Candidates should be prepared for a dynamic schedule that reflects the always-on nature of home services.

Benefits:

• Medical Insurance (employer subsidized)
