• Provide drivers with clear instructions, locations, contacts, load details, permit requirements, and site-specific information.
• Maintain regular communication with customers, drivers, supervisors, and field personnel throughout each job.
• Work in partnership with other dispatchers and prepare a clear, complete handover before each shift change, ensuring active jobs, upcoming work, permits, driver and equipment status, customer updates, and outstanding issues are documented and ready for the incoming dispatcher.
• Monitor active jobs, respond to schedule changes or delays, and arrange safe, practical solutions when issues arise.
• Review driver tickets and supporting documents for completeness and accuracy before submission.
• Track equipment availability, maintenance status, and documentation to avoid assigning unavailable or non-compliant equipment.
• Maintain organized dispatch records, permits, job notes, and customer communications.
• Support compliance with company policies, customer requirements, safety procedures, and applicable transportation regulations.
• Participate in the rotating on-call schedule and respond promptly to after-hours dispatch needs.

• Working knowledge of commercial vehicle weights and dimensions, driver hours of service, load securement, and permit-related requirements.
• Strong computer skills, including email, digital documents, and Microsoft Office applications.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to remain calm, respectful, and professional, de-escalate tense situations, address concerns directly, and avoid contributing to unnecessary conflict or workplace drama. Must exercise discretion and maintain the confidentiality of company, customer, driver, employee, rate, and job-related information.
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple time-sensitive jobs at once.
• Accurate, detail-oriented, and able to remain professional while priorities change.
• Proven ability to make practical decisions independently and work effectively as part of a team.
• Knowledge of Alberta and Saskatchewan oilfield locations, highways, and rural routes is an asset.
• Valid driver's licence and reliable transportation.

Schedule and Work Expectations

• Full-time position with rotating day, evening, weekend, and on-call shifts.

• Must be able to answer calls promptly, adjust schedules, and coordinate urgent or last-minute work during assigned on-call periods.
• Primarily office-based, with extended periods of computer and telephone work.
