Job description

Assistant Operations Manager – Route & Field Operations

DoodyCalls | Morris County, NJ

Salary: $50,000 – $58,000 (based on experience)
Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday (early mornings, flexibility required)
Location: Morris County, NJ (office + field)

We are looking for a hands-on Assistant Operations Manager. You will be producing routes, managing technicians, dealing with vehicles, equipment, weather, and real daily problems. If you are looking for an office-only management job, this is not the proper role.

What You Will Be Doing (Real Work)

Build, adjust, and manage all daily technician routes
Handle call-outs, weather issues, breakdowns, and schedule changes
Communicate directly with technicians throughout the day
Perform ride-alongs, spot checks, and field audits
Step into the field or onto a route when coverage is needed
Coordinate basic vehicle scheduling and maintenance
Monitor equipment condition and report issues
Respond to customer issues and resolve problems quickly
Track daily metrics: stops completed, hours, mileage
Assist with onboarding and hands-on training of new technicians

You are not responsible for payroll, HR discipline, sales quotas, or franchise compliance.

Who We Are Looking For

You are likely a good fit if you have:

Worked in field services, routes, trades, logistics, or blue-collar operations
Supervised or led people who work outdoors
Experience with vehicles, equipment, or route-based work
No problem getting dirty, walking properties, or working outside
A "fix-it-now" mindset instead of a "send-an-email" mindset

Former technicians, field supervisors, dispatchers, or working foremen are strongly encouraged to apply.

Required Experience & Skills

Prior experience in route-based or field operations
Comfortable managing schedules, people, and daily changes
Basic computer skills (routing software, spreadsheets, email)
Strong communication and customer service skills
Valid driver's license and ability to drive company vehicles

No degree required.
Hands-on experience matters more than titles.

No degree required — experience matters more.

Work Environment

Mix of office work and outdoor field work
Exposure to weather, pets, and pet waste
Physical activity required (walking properties, lifting equipment)
Fast-paced, problem-solving environment

Why This Job Is Different

Clear expectations
No corporate bureaucracy
Local ownership
Real authority over daily operations
Stable, growing business

Non-Negotiable Reality Check

This role requires hands-on field involvement, vehicle awareness, and the ability to jump in when things go wrong. If you have never worked in a field-based or blue-collar operation, this role will not be a good fit.
