Who We Serve

We serve family-owned and owner-operated home service businesses (i.e. plumbing/HVAC) on Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, and comparable field service platforms.
We equip them with the operational infrastructure and talent to run day-to-day operations, so they can focus on field development, sales, and growth.

This role supports a family-owned plumbing and heating company running on Housecall Pro and Gusto. You’ll be the administrative backbone of the business: taking calls off the owner’s cell phone and running every booking, schedule change, invoice, permit, and new hire so the owner can stay in the field.

Responsibilities:

• Own call handling and booking: answer every inbound call plus LSA and Angi leads, book the diagnostic/dispatch visit on the first call (no pricing over the phone), and route unusual calls (e.g., boiler work) to the owner.
• Own the Housecall Pro schedule: book arrival windows, reshuffle the day when a plumber sells a larger job (tankless, dig), and handle every customer reschedule.
• Invoice every job in Housecall Pro, collect payment at completion, and run the AR follow-up process through to collections. Manage card-on-file and net-30 terms for commercial accounts.
• Log every flat-rate estimate in Housecall Pro and keep its status current.
• Run payroll, onboarding, and offboarding in Gusto, including I-9s and new-hire paperwork, uniforms, and tracking of each plumber’s iPad, company card, and van.
• Pull permits, book equipment (e.g., backhoe) for dig jobs, send COIs to cities and commercial customers, and track license renewals.
• Monitor the general office inbox daily (website forms, owner requests).
• Deliver weekly office reports from Housecall Pro.
• Document every recurring task as an SOP, and keep Housecall Pro set up correctly (skill tags, price book, GPS tracking).

KPIs / Performance Expectations

• Answer every call and lead; no callbacks required from the owner

Requirements:

• 2+ years in office management, dispatch, or operations coordination, ideally in plumbing, HVAC, or field services.
• Working knowledge of Housecall Pro or a comparable FSM platform (ServiceTitan, Jobber).
• Strong phone presence, plus excellent written and verbal English.
• Able to own work from start to finish and follow up on your own without close supervision.
• Organized and detail-oriented, with a habit of documenting processes.

Requirements (Nice to Have):

• Direct plumbing or heating industry experience.
• Experience with Gusto or a similar payroll/HR platform.
• Experience handling permits, COIs, or AR collections.
