After Hours Dispatcher - Work From Your Home
Job description
Why Pro-Tow?
A company with core values: Character, Discipline, Caring, Unique, and Growth
Work between 30 to 40 hours per week in 3 to 5 shifts all outside of our normal business hours.
Our group of companies does things differently. We've been in the business since 1993, and though we've grown substantially since then, we've chosen to remain a local, family-owned and family-focused company. That mindset extends to the members of our team at Pro-Tow, Motorplex and Pro-Enviro.
We are also passionate about our trade and proud to be in it. By working with us, you'll get the opportunity to show off and improve your skills and talents while solving problems for our customers. You'll be rewarded with financial stability, continual advancement opportunities and job satisfaction. We want to see our team members grow, both inside and outside of the workplace.
What We Do
Because we have three main divisions to our company, our services are many. If chosen for the After Hours Dispatcher, you have the opportunity to work from your own home. Through Pro-Tow and Pro-Enviro, we also offer 24-hour automotive and heavy duty towing services, as well as semi truck accident recovery and spill containment. When required, Pro-Tow will provide load handling and load recovery services as well as on-site truck repair.
Our standard business hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but we offer 24-hour towing services. Therefore, we require several after hours dispatchers to answer our phones and dispatch our drivers and technicians as needed.
About the Job
- Shifts may vary, but ALL will be AFTER the hours of 8am to 5pm M-F. Plus some holiday hours. We may be able to accommodate particular days or shifts you can work or can't work, but would prefer some flexibility to accommodate other teammate needs for time off.
- An average weeknight (from 5:00 PM to 8:00 AM) will receive 8 to 16 dispatched calls. We also average 6 to 8 incoming calls per dispatched call.
