• Help develop the service and maintenance team as the operation expands.
• Identify opportunities to retain customers, expand existing relationships and grow service revenue.

What We’re Looking For

• 5–7+ years of experience in operations, service delivery, department management or a related leadership role.
• Experience leading teams that serve commercial or industrial customers.
• Strong scheduling, organization, communication and problem-solving skills.
• A record of improving operations, developing teams and taking ownership of results.
• Confidence handling customer issues and coordinating practical solutions.
• Previous experience as an Operations Manager, Service Manager, Project Manager or similar leader.

Preferred Experience

• Commercial HVAC/R, plumbing, mechanical services or facilities maintenance.
• Service agreements, maintenance contracts or recurring service operations.
• Building or expanding a service department.

Direct construction or trade experience is preferred but is not required for a candidate with exceptional operational leadership and commercial customer service experience.
