• Monitor key service KPIs including revenue, gross margin, labor utilization, billable efficiency, callbacks, technician productivity, and customer retention.
• Identify operational inefficiencies and implement processes that improve productivity, service quality, and profitability.
• Establish appropriate service pricing and quoting strategies.
• Quote, estimate, present, negotiate, and close commercial HVAC/R service opportunities.
• Partner with company leadership to establish budgets, growth objectives, and strategic priorities.

Drive Financial Performance

• Take ownership of the commercial service department's financial performance and P&L.
• Develop and manage service budgets while maintaining strong margins.
• Analyze financial and operational results and take corrective action when performance falls below expectations.
• Balance customer service, technician productivity, revenue growth, and profitability.
• Identify opportunities to increase revenue while improving operational efficiency.

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years of commercial HVAC/R or mechanical service experience.
• 5+ years of service leadership or management experience , preferably within a commercial mechanical contracting environment.
• Proven track record of building teams, growing service revenue, developing customer relationships, and improving profitability.
• Strong understanding of commercial HVAC/R service operations, including dispatch, estimating, quoting, preventive maintenance, and field service management.
• Demonstrated experience managing a service department's P&L, budgets, margins, and operational KPIs.
