What We’re Looking For
This role is ideal for someone who thrives on coordination, planning, and real-time problem solving. Success here means excelling in four key areas:
Thinking Logistically – You enjoy building efficient plans, adjusting to changes, and making sure all the moving parts fit together. Success in this role starts with an operational mindset.
Staying Calm Under Pressure – From last-minute route changes to customer concerns, your ability to remain level-headed and focused will set you apart. You handle surprises with confidence and clarity.
Communicating Clearly – You’ll need to deliver all kinds of news—some good, some challenging. Your communication skills will help set expectations, explain decisions, and maintain trust.
Caring About the Customer Experience – While this role is logistics-driven, you’ll still be answering phones and speaking with customers daily. Your ability to listen, understand, and respond thoughtfully is key.
If this sounds like your kind of challenge, you’ll fit right in.
Key Responsibilities:
Routing & Scheduling
- Strategically build and adjust technician routes for efficiency and coverage.
- Monitor route progress throughout the day and respond to issues in real time.
- Prioritize service calls based on urgency, location, and technician skills.
Operations Support
- Track technician availability and service zones to ensure daily balance and workload coverage.
- Collaborate with the service team to align scheduling with parts availability and customer needs.
Customer Coordination
- Answer inbound phone calls and respond to customer inquiries with professionalism and empathy.
- Provide updates, confirm appointments, and communicate schedule changes clearly and promptly.
- Ensure all customers are informed, prepared, and confident in our service.
Job Requirements:
- Experience in dispatching, scheduling, routing, or operations preferred.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to multitask and prioritize on the fly.
- Excellent verbal and written communication—clear, respectful, and professional.
- Strong customer service instincts—you know how to balance honesty with empathy.
- Confident using technology (Microsoft Outlook, Excel, Word, and internal scheduling software).
- Ability to type 50+ WPM and toggle between systems without losing focus.
- Monday–Friday availability, 8 AM – 5 PM.

High Demand
Appliance repair isn’t slowing down — it’s growing. With Maryland’s population aging in place, families relying on their homes more than ever, and appliances becoming more complex, skilled technicians are in constant demand. Landers has been the trusted name for 43 years, which means our techs stay busy with real, steady work year-round.
Job Security
This is a trade that can’t be outsourced, automated, or shipped off to another country. When something breaks in a home, a local professional has to fix it. Landers technicians are backed by thousands of loyal customers, a strong reputation, and a company built to last. Careers here are stable, reliable, and built for the long run.
Upward Mobility
We invest heavily in training — not just technical skills, but professional development, leadership, and long-term growth. Whether you start in the office, operations, installation, or as an apprentice, there is a clear path forward. Many of our leaders began in entry-level roles. If you work hard and meet our standards, you advance.
Competitive Compensation
Landers pays for performance. Technicians earn strong wages, bonuses, and benefits; support staff grow into higher-paying roles as they master their craft; and every position comes with clear expectations and real rewards. Our compensation is intentionally structured to help you build a great life, not burn yourself out earning it.
