- Review proof-of-delivery records and identify missing or incorrect documentation to help maintain quality and accountability.
- Reconcile undelivered or failed packages, complete risk-related reporting when appropriate, and document key issues for follow-up.
- Help reset the work area after dispatch activity and prepare clear handoff notes for teams covering later operations.

- Effective communication skills with the ability to support drivers, respond to questions, and coordinate with operations teams.
- Customer service mindset with sound judgment when resolving delivery or documentation issues.
- Willingness to remain active on the floor and assist operationally where coverage is needed.
- Reliable home internet access for initial virtual training and remote onboarding activities.
