Offshore Teams

The roles you priced, wanted, and walked away from.

A dedicated quoting assistant. A service coordinator. A customer service rep. Roles that never stacked up at local salaries — filled by trade-operations professionals as capable as any local hire.

The split

How the work splits

Moves to your WizeWork staff:

  • Data entry and job card hygiene
  • Scheduling confirmations, reminders, and rebookings
  • Quote formatting, sending, and follow-up cadence
  • Invoice runs and AR chasing
  • Compliance document prep and filing
  • Report preparation and inbox triage

Stays with your local team:

  • Customer relationships and difficult conversations
  • Escalations, complaints, and judgment calls
  • Pricing decisions and quote approval
  • The front counter and walk-ins
  • Managing the WizeWork staff member's priorities — they work for you

We design this split with you before anyone starts — in writing, so nothing falls through the gap.

The roles

Ten defined roles for trade businesses

Scheduling & Dispatch Coordinator

Takes the run sheet off your office manager's plate.

  • Builds and maintains the daily schedule across your full tech team
  • Handles confirmations, reschedules, and customer notifications
  • Monitors job statuses — nothing sits in 'pending' for three weeks
  • Slots reactive work in without wrecking the day
  • Flags conflicts to your office manager before they become problems

Most requested role for businesses with larger field teams — usually frees your senior office staff for higher-value work.

Quoting & Estimating Assistant

Your estimator prices the work. Ours does everything around it.

  • Prepares take-offs, supplier pricing, and quote documents for your estimator's review
  • Formats and sends approved quotes same-day
  • Runs the follow-up cadence — no more quotes dying in silence
  • Tracks win/loss and flags stale quotes weekly
  • Keeps templates and rate libraries current

Built for businesses where quoting volume outgrew the estimator. Approval always stays with your team.

Purchasing Officer

Materials ordered, tracked, and matched — without eating a supervisor's day.

  • Raises and manages purchase orders across your suppliers
  • Compares supplier pricing so you stop paying the lazy price
  • Tracks deliveries against job schedules and flags delays early
  • Matches supplier invoices to POs before they hit accounts
  • Keeps materials lists and pricing catalogues current

Pays for itself in recovered margin — most businesses have no idea what they overpay for materials.

Accounts Officer

Receivables, payables, or both — your call.

  • Runs the invoicing cycle — accurate, on time, every time
  • Chases payment on a consistent weekly cadence
  • Reconciles and flags discrepancies to your bookkeeper
  • Prepares aged-debtor reporting for your Monday meeting
  • Handles progress claims admin for project work

Set the role up as receivables, payables, or both — most clients start with AR and add AP once it proves itself.

Service & Maintenance Coordinator

Recurring revenue that actually recurs.

  • Manages maintenance contracts and recurring job schedules
  • Books preventative maintenance before it's overdue
  • Tracks asset service history and upcoming requirements
  • Prepares compliance documentation and service reports
  • Keeps contract customers informed and renewed

Essential for HVAC, refrigeration, and fire services businesses with contract books.

Admin Support

The volume work that's burying your office manager.

  • Inbox triage — answered, actioned, or escalated
  • Job data entry and system hygiene, so reports stay trustworthy
  • Supplier orders and purchase order admin
  • Document prep, filing, and follow-ups
  • Flexes across whatever the week throws at your office

The most common starting role — and the fastest to show value.

Customer Service Representative

Overflow answered. Customers updated. Reviews protected.

  • Answers inbound calls during your business hours
  • Provides job status updates so customers stop calling your office manager
  • Captures booking requests with complete job details
  • Runs post-job follow-up and review requests
  • Flags complaints early — before they become Google reviews

Works your timezone. Missed calls are missed revenue.

Bookkeeping Assistant

Clean books between your job system and your accountant.

  • Day-to-day transaction coding and reconciliation (Xero/MYOB)
  • Supplier invoice processing and payment scheduling
  • Payroll preparation support
  • Month-end prep for your accountant
  • Job-cost data hygiene between your job system and accounts

Works alongside your existing accountant — not a replacement for one.

Marketing Coordinator

The growth work that always loses to urgent work.

  • Chases Google reviews after every completed job
  • Keeps your website, socials, and job photos current
  • Follows up quotes and leads sitting in your CRM
  • Sends email campaigns to past customers for repeat and maintenance work
  • Tracks which jobs came from where, so you know what's working

For businesses whose marketing happens only when the office goes quiet — which is never.

Software & Automation Developer

Custom connections your platforms don't ship with.

  • Builds automations between your job system, accounts, forms, and spreadsheets
  • Creates the dashboards and reports your platform can't
  • Sets up AI-assisted workflows — quotes drafted from technician notes, reports summarised
  • Maintains and documents every integration, on your own subscriptions
  • Works with our systems consultants on bigger workflow fixes

For businesses whose next bottleneck is the software, not the staffing.

Office or remote

Office-based or remote — built around the role.

Your staff can work from our professional office in the Philippines or remotely — depending on the role and your requirements.

Why office-based:

If you're building a team of two or more, having them in the same office matters: they collaborate in person, cover for each other, share what they learn about your business, and build the culture of an actual team — your team, sitting together, working your hours.

Why remote:

For specialised roles — senior estimators, experienced bookkeepers, platform specialists — remote opens up a much larger talent pool. The best person for a specialised role isn't always within commuting distance of one office, and for these roles, skill depth beats seating arrangement.

We'll recommend the right setup during the role design — and either way, employment, management, and equipment are handled by us.

Employment & compliance

Fully employed. Fully compliant. Fully above board.

Offshore staffing has a compliance problem — and it's getting attention. Fair Work has been tightening scrutiny on contractor misclassification and sham contracting, and plenty of offshore providers are built on exactly that model: 'contractors' working full-time hours, for one client, under direction — an employee in everything but paperwork. When that unravels, the exposure doesn't stay with the provider.

WizeWork is built the other way:

  • Our staff are employees of WizeWork — employed properly under Philippine labour law
  • Payroll, tax, statutory benefits, and government contributions handled by us in full
  • Proper contracts, paid leave, HR support, and performance management
  • You get the capacity without becoming anyone's employer — and without the contractor question mark

And our pricing follows the same principle:

  • You see exactly what your staff member costs
  • You see exactly what WizeWork charges for management, training, and infrastructure
  • No hidden margins. No mystery mark-ups. Full breakdown before you sign anything.

If a provider won't show you this breakdown — or can't explain their employment model — you're the margin, and possibly the risk.

Data security & IT

Your data, treated like it's ours.

Your job management system holds your customer list, your pricing, and your margins. Here's how we protect it:

  • Company-managed devices with endpoint security — no personal laptops touching your systems
  • Access on least-privilege — your staff member sees what their role needs, nothing more
  • Your systems, your accounts — access granted and revoked by you, logged in your platform
  • Secure office environment with controlled access for office-based roles
  • Confidentiality agreements as standard in every employment contract
  • Offboarding protocol — access revoked same-day, devices wiped, sign-off provided
