What You'll Do:

• Oversee Daily Operations – Lead all day-to-day branch activities, including working closely with the Client Experience Team for dispatch schedules and coordinating service calls to ensure operational efficiency.

• Equipment & Fleet Readiness – Manage branch equipment and fleet (both equipment and vehicles). Ensure everything is properly maintained, job-ready, and available when needed.

• Safety and Compliance – Create and maintain a safe working environment by enforcing safety protocols and leading weekly safety training.
• Financial Performance – Take full responsibility for the financial performance of the branch. Manage local vendor relationships and purchase orders.

Maintain a financially and operationally sound branch at all times to better serve our customers and our team.

What It Takes:

• Experience – 3+ years of experience in operations, branch management, or a leadership role in HVAC, mechanical, or service-based industries.
• Dispatch and Scheduling Skills – Proven ability to manage scheduling and resource allocation to meet customer demands and team productivity goals.
• Leadership Skills – Proven ability to lead a team, resolve conflicts, and drive performance.
• Technical Knowledge – Familiarity with HVAC or mechanical equipment is a plus.

When & Where You'll Work

• Branch-Based – Primarily based at the branch, but travel may be required for regional support and training.
• Customer-Facing – Support the local sales staff as an additional leader in the market to ensure customer satisfaction and strengthen client relationships.
• The Field – At times, especially during peak season, you will be called upon to work alongside your team in the field to ensure customer demands are met and schedules are kept.
• Set Schedule with 24/7 Availability – You'll have a regular schedule, but on-call shifts — including nights, weekends, and holidays — will be required. As the Branch Manager, you are the last line of defense in ensuring customer needs are always met — even if that means stepping in yourself to get the job done.
• Peak Season Demand – Expect increased workload during peak seasons and weather-related emergencies.
