 * Manage day-to-day coverage: PTO, volume spikes, on-call schedules, and queue management
 * Coach technicians on tools, processes, and best practices through ongoing feedback and formal training

 * Escalate issues and communicate proactively with the Service Manager
 * Identify process gaps and help drive improvements across the team
