General Manager

General Manager - Construction Equipment - West Texas

The operation is well established, has a strong team in place, and represents a leading equipment manufacturer. The opportunity is to build on that foundation by strengthening accountability, developing the leadership team, protecting the branch's customer relationships, and continuing its growth.

The Role

• Full profit and loss responsibility for the location
• Leadership of equipment sales, rental, parts, service, and operational functions
• Development and performance management of department leaders and their teams

• Development of market coverage, customer engagement, and growth strategies
• Coordination between departments to improve productivity and customer service
• Responsibility for branch safety, compliance, and operational standards
• Close collaboration with senior leadership and surrounding branch locations

The successful individual will be expected to lead through their managers rather than become buried in the day-to-day detail. They will need to understand the numbers, challenge performance, support their people, and maintain a visible presence with employees and customers.
