Looking for a Builder. Not a Manager.

TORQ Coatings is seeking a Operations Manager to become the Founder’s right-hand operational leader as we continue scaling across multiple markets.

The right person will help lead operations across multiple markets, recruit and develop leaders, improve field performance, drive profitability, and help create the foundation for a company that intends to become a dominant force in the home services industry.

If you’re looking for a comfortable maintenance role, this isn’t it.
