Who We Serve
We serve family-owned and owner-operated home service businesses (plumbing, HVAC, and other trades) that run on FieldPulse, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, and similar field service platforms. We give them the operational infrastructure and talent to run day-to-day operations, so the owners can focus on the field, sales, and growth.
About the Role
You’ll be the remote office manager for a family-owned plumbing company in the US. The owners need one person who runs the office end to end. That means answering every customer call and text, owning the dispatch board, and closing out jobs. At the end of each day, you tell them what was sold, what was collected, and what’s scheduled next.
By your 90th day, you’re the administrative backbone of the business. The owners trust the board because you run it. Plumbers send schedule changes through you instead of moving jobs themselves.
What You’ll Own
- Call intake and customer communication: Answer every incoming call, text, and Google Local Services lead from one shared inbox. Enter each one in the field service software the same day, tagged with its lead source. Give customers arrival windows, leave pricing to the plumbers, and call back when you said you would.
- Scheduling and dispatch: Own the dispatch board as the single source of truth. Book arrival windows and assign plumbers, helpers, and equipment (excavator, hydro jetter). Handle every reschedule.
- Job tracking and return visits: Review every open job’s status daily, from booking through completion and invoicing. Make sure plumbers post status updates and notes. Book return trips on the original job, and flag jobs at risk of slipping.
- Estimate follow-up: Review open estimates every morning and confirm whether the office or the plumber follows up. Update the status after each touch, and close out estimates that go cold.
- Job closeout and payments: Each morning, check yesterday’s paid invoices for job costs, the correct commission rate, fees, referral tags, and deposits. Flag anything that doesn’t add up.
- Payroll and time tracking support: Verify plumber commissions and helper hours each pay cycle, and chase missing clock-ins before payroll runs.
- Permits and compliance: Track every job that needs a permit. Send certificates of insurance (COIs) to cities that require them before the work is scheduled.
- Daily reporting: Send the owner an end-of-day summary every business day covering what was sold, what was collected, and what’s on tomorrow’s board.
- Process documentation: Turn every recurring task into a simple written process so the office runs the same way every day.

What You Bring

- Experience answering customer calls and texts as a core part of your job
- Experience owning a schedule or dispatch board for a team working in the field
- Hands-on experience with at least one field service platform: FieldPulse, Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, Jobber, Workiz, or similar

How You Work
- Detail first: Tags, rates, fees, and notes are right the first time.
- You own it to the end: Every call, job, and estimate goes from first contact to close without the owner stepping in.
- You bring solutions: When something breaks, you raise it early with the problem, three options, and your recommendation.
- You write it down: Recurring work becomes a documented process.
- You live in the system: Every customer conversation is logged on the job, not in side texts.
