Call Center Operations Manager

About Hawkins

Hawkins Service Company has served Tampa Bay and Fort Myers since 1993. Electrical, AC and heating, plumbing, pool repair, and gas: one call handles it all. We keep growing because we only hire the best, and our customers love us for it. People come to us looking for a job and stay because they find a fulfilling career, room to grow, and a team that has each other's backs.

Our Guiding Principles

Dedication: Holds oneself and the team to high standards of professional work and safety

Dependability: Is reliable and can be counted on to perform

Passion: Takes pride in the quality of work

Honesty: Does the right thing even when no one is looking

Service: Delivers a 5-star level of service well beyond competitors

These principles aren't wall art at Hawkins. They shape how we hire, how we coach, and how we recognize our people. You'll hear about them in your interviews, because we mean them.

The Role

As our Call Center Operations Manager, you lead the team of Customer Service Reps and Dispatchers who book and schedule every service call, and you own the department's booked call and sales goals. This is a hands-on, onsite leadership role at our Temple Terrace office. We're looking for a proactive operator who spots the trend before it becomes the problem, builds the dashboards that show it, and drives productivity every single day.

What You'll Do

Lead the team

Coach CSRs and Dispatchers on converting calls into booked appointments, and refine call scripts so they're clear, compelling, and effective

Manage dispatch so the right technician is matched to every job

Set clear performance expectations, hold regular one-on-ones, and coach from the data – including recorded call reviews

Own the numbers

Build and maintain daily, weekly, and monthly dashboards covering call volume, booking and conversion rates, abandonment, and response times

Use AI and modern tools to create reports and automations that improve visibility and cut manual admin work

Lead headcount and workforce planning – forecast staffing against seasonal demand, build coverage schedules, and partner with HR and Operations on hiring

Keep leadership informed on results, risks, and what you're doing about them – no surprises

Must-haves

You've run a call center – 5+ years of leadership experience, including recruiting, training, and coaching CSRs and Dispatchers

You love people – you have a coach's personality: teaching, inspiring, and influencing others

You're customer obsessed – solving customer problems energizes you, and every decision you make starts with the customer experience

You lead by serving – you bring high emotional intelligence and a servant leadership mindset, measuring your success by how well your team and our customers are taken care of
