Position Summary:

 

 

The Operations Support Specialist is responsible for providing frontline support to store operations by monitoring, troubleshooting, and coordinating the resolution of equipment, technology, fuel, and facility-related issues. As a key member of the Call Center/Real-Time Operating Center (RTOC), this role serves as the central point of communication between store personnel, maintenance teams, field technicians, vendors, and leadership to ensure problems are resolved quickly and efficiently.

    • Work closely with RTOC teammates, maintenance leadership, field technicians, contractors, vendors, and store teams to diagnose issues and determine the best path to resolution. 
    • Attempt remote resolution where possible by walking store personnel through troubleshooting steps, reviewing system status, and using available tools before dispatching field support. 
    • Dispatch TPG technicians or approved contractors when remote resolution is not possible, ensuring the work request includes clear notes, priority, site details, and issue history. 
    • Provide backup dispatch coverage when needed by answering calls, creating and assigning work orders, monitoring urgent requests, and escalating critical issues. 
    • Support the continued development of the RTOC by helping improve processes, documentation, escalation paths, and day-to-day operating routines. 
    • Assist with special projects assigned to the Maintenance Department, including technology rollouts, asset monitoring improvements, data cleanup, vendor coordination, and operational support initiatives.
