Dispatch & Technical Support Manager

Magnus HRS

$90,000 - $95,000 + 10% bonus

Full-time

In-Office | Kleinburg, ON, Canada

ABOUT THE ROLE The Dispatch Manager owns the operational performance of the field-service value stream — the end-to-end flow from a customer request landing, through technical triage, scheduling and dispatch, on-site resolution, and close-out. You lead the two teams that run this flow — Technical Support and Scheduling/Dispatch — and own the processes that connect them.

The role is accountable not just for running the flow, but for instrumenting it: pinpointing where delays occur, quantifying their impact, attributing them to the responsible team, and turning that insight into corrective action so that service-level commitments are met and labour margin is protected. In short, you are accountable for how work moves through the system, not just whether individual tickets close.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Lead the teams. Manage, coach, and develop the technical support and scheduling/dispatch teams — staffing, performance, and day-to-day escalation.
- Own the processes. Design, standardize, and continuously improve how requests are triaged, resolved, scheduled, and dispatched; ensure teams work from documented, repeatable procedures.
- Instrument the flow. Isolate each source of delay, quantify its impact on service-level attainment, and present the responsible team with a clear, evidence-based path to improvement.
- Run exception management. Define how off-standard work (parts delays, no technician available, repeat visits, customer no-access, priority/immediate-response cases) is flagged,



routed, and resolved — with reporting that quantifies each category.
- Drive an improvement cadence. Maintain a prioritized backlog of process improvements and a standing rhythm that works the highest-impact items first.
- Protect margin. Keep labour gross margin healthy through technician utilization, rework reduction, and efficient dispatch — balancing responsiveness against utilization rather than maximizing any single number.
- Own the system and the data. Act as operational owner and power-user of the field-service scheduling and optimization platform; drive consistent team adoption and keep data clean enough to trust.
- Report the KPIs. Understand how each metric is sourced and calculated, surface results to leadership on a regular cadence, and explain the “why” behind the movement.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

- Design and standardization of dispatching and technical-support processes, escalation paths within both teams.
- Input and decision authority on how the dispatch automation is configured to support the operation.
- Performance management of dispatchers and technical support reps — goals, reviews, coaching, & corrective action.




- Customer prioritization/tiering and escalations that reach outside the two owned teams are set with senior sign-off.

HOW SUCCESS IS MEASURED

- Time to Respond / Time to Resolve — request created to technician on-site, and request created to call closed.
- Auto-dispatch rate — percentage of calls routed without manual intervention.
- Technical support coverage of key and major accounts.
- Utilization, schedule adherence / on-time arrival, and reschedule rate — the reliability checks that respond and resolve times can mask.

Metrics are reported at median and 90th percentile and segmented consistently by priority, request type, and region.

WHAT YOU BRING

- Experience leading field-service, dispatch, or service-operations teams in a metrics-driven environment.
- Proven people leadership — coaching, performance management, and team development.
- Strong analytical & reporting skills; comfort turning operational data into decisions, holding teams accountable to it.
- Hands-on experience with field-service management or scheduling-optimization software
- A track record of process improvement and standardization.
- Transparent communication and sound judgment in balancing competing priorities such as responsiveness versus utilization.
