ISTA Personnel Solutions is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency — we operate as a dedicated extension of our U.S.-based clients' teams, delivering high-quality service with precision, efficiency, and a personal touch.

Join our team serving a U.S.-based long-term care laboratory. You'll work closely with their dispatch and operations teams to coordinate medical sample pick-ups, communicate with healthcare facilities and drivers, and ensure smooth, on-time deliveries across the New York and New Jersey areas.

Role Overview:

As a Dispatch Support Coordinator, you'll play a key role in managing day-to-day logistics operations for our client's laboratory services. This role goes beyond simple scheduling - you'll be responsible for handling late call-ins, route adjustments, and real-time problem-solving to ensure efficient pick-up coordination. The ideal candidate is proactive, quick-thinking, and comfortable making decisions in a fast-paced environment.

  • Internet Requirements: A fixed fibre line with a minimum speed of 25 Mbps (upload & download) and the ability to support a wired Ethernet connection is mandatory. Applicants without a fixed fibre line cannot be considered.
  • Power Backup: A reliable power backup solution is required to manage load shedding and power outages. Applicants without a power backup cannot be considered.
  • Work Environment: This is a fully remote working role.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Coordinate and schedule pick-ups as calls come in, managing real-time route adjustments.
  • Handle last-minute changes, late call-ins, and urgent requests effectively.
  • Communicate clearly and professionally with healthcare facilities and drivers.
  • Strategically plan routes to maximize efficiency and minimize delays.
  • Maintain accurate records of dispatch activity and communication.
  • Support general operational and administrative dispatch functions as needed.
Requirements

Industry Experience (Preferred):

  • Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Proactive and self-motivated, with a strong sense of ownership.
  • Ability to multitask effectively in a high-pressure environment.
