Business Operations Manager – Brown’s Tree Service Location: Topeka, Kansas | Full-Time

Brown’s Tree Service is looking for a strong, highly organized Business Operations Manager to take ownership of the day-to-day operations of our growing tree service and storm-response company.

This is not a sit-behind-a-desk position . We need someone who can keep crews, equipment, scheduling, jobs, paperwork, and communication moving — and who is comfortable holding people accountable.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Manage daily business and field operations

• Coordinate scheduling of crews, equipment, trucks, and jobs

• Make sure crews are properly staffed and prepared each day

• Track job progress, production, hours, and completion

• Monitor daily and weekly revenue/productivity goals

• Work closely with owners, sales staff, field supervisors, and office personnel

• Coordinate equipment availability, maintenance, repairs, and downtime

• Identify scheduling or operational problems before they become expensive problems
  
  
• Verify timekeeping, job information, and field paperwork

• Help control overtime, labor costs, equipment costs, and unnecessary downtime

• Ensure completed work is communicated to the office for billing

• Help coordinate storm-response deployments and mobilization when needed

• Maintain clear communication between the office and field

• Develop and enforce systems, procedures, and accountability

• Assist with hiring, onboarding, employee performance, and disciplinary issues

• Keep ownership informed of problems, priorities, and company performance

We’re Looking for Someone Who:

• Is extremely organized and detail-oriented

• Can manage multiple crews and priorities at the same time

• Is comfortable making decisions and solving problems

• Follows through — every time
  
  
• Can hold employees accountable while maintaining professionalism

• Understands that labor, equipment downtime, and poor scheduling cost money

• Is comfortable working with numbers, spreadsheets, scheduling software, and reports

• Communicates clearly with both field employees and management

• Can work in a fast-paced environment where plans sometimes change quickly

• Takes ownership instead of waiting to be told what to do

• Is willing to learn the tree-care and storm-response industry

Preferred Experience

Experience in tree service, construction, utilities, excavation, trucking, landscaping, field services, fleet management, or another crew-based operation is strongly preferred.

Management or operations experience involving multiple employees, crews, vehicles, or jobs is a major plus.

What Success Looks Like

The right person will make Brown’s Tree Service run more efficiently, more consistently, and more profitably .

At the end of the day, we should know:

• Where every crew worked

• What every crew produced

• What equipment was used

• Whether jobs stayed on schedule

• What problems need addressed

• What was completed and ready to bill

• What tomorrow’s crews are doing

We are looking for someone who sees a problem and handles it , not someone who simply reports that there is a problem.
