About The Position

At Valley Services, reliable service begins long before our drivers arrive at a customer's jobsite. Behind every successful service day is a Routing Coordinator who ensures recurring service routes are accurate, organized, and ready for execution. As a growing, family-owned company serving construction sites, businesses, and events throughout the Bay Area, we're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and has an exceptional eye for detail. The Routing Coordinator owns the accuracy and integrity of our recurring service routes. While our routing software helps generate efficient routes, this role requires much more than simply pressing an "optimize" button. Every day you'll review customer additions, cancellations, service frequency changes, site instructions, and operational updates to ensure drivers have accurate routes and customers receive the service they expect. Success in this role requires outstanding attention to detail, critical thinking, and strong operational judgment. You'll work closely with the Pickup & Delivery Router, Dispatch, Customer Service, Operations, and Drivers to maintain accurate recurring routes, identify potential issues before they happen, and continuously improve routing efficiency.
