Crane & Oilfield Services | Montana

Overview

Independent Sponsor Journey Capital Group is seeking an experienced, hands‑on Owner‑CEO to acquire a highly profitable crane and oilfield services company generating approximately $1.7M in seller’s discretionary earnings (SDE).

The company has built a strong reputation serving the oil and gas industry and is expanding into municipal, construction, and civil projects. With ~40% margins, clean financials, and no formal sales team in place, this is a great opportunity to lead a well‑run, asset‑backed business with significant untapped growth potential.

Sponsor will support the equity raise and post‑close operations, providing strategic and financial resources for the new Owner/CEO to scale the platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Engage with diligence providers, close debt facility and complete acquisition in the next 90 days.
• Lead all aspects of company operations and strategy post‑acquisition.
• Build and manage a sales and business development function to drive new growth.
• Partner with the existing general manager and staff to optimize day‑to‑day operations and financial performance.

Ideal Background

• Industry Experience (preferred, not required): Exposure to construction services, crane services, equipment rental, oil & gas, heavy civil, or related industrial sectors.
• Growth Mindset: Demonstrated ability to professionalize and scale a business building systems, teams, and processes to support sustained growth.
• Commercial Orientation: Hands‑on experience developing sales and customer relationships, improving pricing discipline, and driving top‑line growth.
• Operational Excellence: Proven track record overseeing field operations, resource allocation, and safety in a blue‑collar, service‑oriented environment.
• People Leadership: Strong ability to recruit, develop, and retain high‑performing teams while fostering accountability and a culture of safety and execution.

Location

Candidates must be willing to relocate and lead the business on‑site in Montana.

Highlights
