We are an established Australian field-service business with approximately 800 recurring service clients and a substantial mobile technician team. We are seeking a senior remote Field Service Operations / Scheduling specialist with genuine experience supporting Australian trade or service businesses. Strong hands-on experience with ServiceM8 and/or AroFlo is highly desirable. This is NOT a basic virtual assistant or data-entry role. We want someone experienced in coordinating multiple field technicians, scheduling and dispatch, forward capacity planning, recurring jobs, customer communication, job follow-up, workflow management and identifying operational problems before they become urgent. Importantly, we do not want to prescribe every task. We want an experienced operator who can understand how our business currently runs and tell us what they believe they could take ownership of, improve, systemise or automate. Initially we are interested in a paid diagnostic/consulting engagement, with the potential for a longer-term senior operations role if there is a strong fit. Applicants should explain their actual experience managing field-service operations, approximately how many technicians they have coordinated, which systems they have used, and what they believe they could bring to our business.

Hi, Managing an active client base of ~800 recurring accounts alongside a sizable mobile technician workforce requires proactive capacity planning, strict dispatch discipline, and tight workflow management—not reactive data entry. As an Automation & Systems Engineer with extensive experience in field-service workflow optimization, dispatch coordination, and job management systems, I specialize in transforming busy trade/service operations into scalable, self-sustaining engines. # Operations & Scheduling Experience: * Technician Fleet & Dispatch Management: Coordinated multi-technician mobile teams across high-volume service routes, managing real-time dispatch, route optimization, urgent job insertion, and forward capacity planning. * Systems Mastery (ServiceM8 / AroFlo): Hands-on experience building, optimizing, and operating ServiceM8 and AroFlo environments—configuring recurring job templates, automated customer notifications, custom job statuses, form automation, and asset/equipment tracking. * Proactive Bottleneck Resolution: Focused on identifying operational friction before it impacts SLA compliance—such as tracking unassigned recurring tasks, monitoring technician travel/idle time, resolving stuck "In Progress" jobs, and automating post-service follow-ups. Ready to connect and discuss your current tech fleet size and primary software stack! Best regards, Zakaria L.

800 recurring clients running through ServiceM8 or AroFlo usually means the real bottleneck is job scheduling and invoice sync, not the software itself. I can start today, map your current workflow, and tighten the automation between quoting, dispatch, and invoicing, with a first pass ready in 4 days. The 15 to 25 AUD and timeline are starting points from the post, we will firm both up once we go through the actual scope. Want to jump on a quick call?

Hello there, I'm Valentino from the Philippines (GMT+08:00) and honestly while my resource management and scheduling experience is not with field service operations and ServiceM8 / AroFlo specifically, I have hands-on experience with project management using tools such as MS Project, Trello, Kanban / Scrum, and Redmine, and also in the HR domain. For example, below is my Employee Time Tracking project here in Freelancer: https://www.freelancer.com/projects/golang/golang-developer-Time-Tracking-Win I also pride myself having expertise on an industry-proven, advanced "AI Scheduling and Resource Optimization Engine" where use cases such as job scheduling and employee shift availability integration are already considered "solved". This includes custom and dynamic rules where scheduling and resource optimizations are automatically re-calculated whenever conditions change. Other use cases solved by the engine: - Project materials allocation - Inventory delivery scheduling - Equipment maintenance scheduling ...and many more As you also want an experienced operator who understands your business, I also practice Domain-Driven Design (DDD), a methodology that "focuses directly around the real-world business needs (the "domain") through close collaboration with domain experts." I'm also a board-certified Electronics Engineer at home with numbers and technical jargon. I leverage all these and I look forward to discussing with you. Thank you.

Hello, I have carefully reviewed your requirements and understand that you are looking for a senior field-service operations specialist who can take ownership of scheduling, dispatch, recurring work, technician capacity, customer communication, and workflow improvement rather than simply performing administrative tasks. I have 11+ years of experience in technology, workflow management, business process optimization, and system integration. I can review your current ServiceM8/AroFlo workflows, understand how your 800 recurring clients and technician operations are currently managed, and identify practical areas for improvement, automation, and better capacity planning. My approach would begin with a paid diagnostic covering your current scheduling process, recurring jobs, technician allocation, follow-ups, customer communication, bottlenecks, and operational reporting. From there, I can recommend what should be systemised, automated, delegated, or brought under ongoing operational ownership. I am comfortable working with distributed field teams, monitoring priorities proactively, identifying scheduling conflicts before they become urgent, and maintaining clear communication between technicians, customers, and management. I eagerly await your positive response. Thanks, Christina
