Description

The ideal candidate will live in the Phoenix area but this is not required as this role is remote. Alternatively, people living in the Pacific time zone would be well suited for this role. We are looking for someone who can fill a time slot somewhere between 10AM-8PM Arizona time.
The Customer Service Associate is a critical frontline operations role responsible for overseeing dispatch operations, managing hauler relations, onboarding new drivers, and supporting customer success initiatives. This position ensures delivery quality, system accuracy, and stakeholder satisfaction, while serving as the key bridge between FERO’s marketplace participants — drivers and customers.

MORE ABOUT FERO

FERO was created to solve a critical gap in construction logistics: unplanned, last-mile deliveries. The big, scheduled shipments of heavy equipment aren’t the issue—it’s the smaller, urgent items like generators, pallets, or towable equipment that can cause costly delays. Businesses needed a faster, more cost-effective solution, and that’s where FERO comes in.
Our mission is to connect equipment rental, building material, and construction companies with drivers like you to handle these crucial deliveries quickly and efficiently, keeping job sites on track and running smoothly. Easter egg. Your attention to detail and thoroughness in reading all of this job description has found this hidden message. Send us a message through Indeed with the phrase “I found it” at the top. It will be favorably noted. We primarily serve the construction industry with a significant focus on equipment rental, construction suppliers, and construction companies.
