About The Position

This is a senior operational leadership role for someone who understands what great field service looks like—from technician productivity and dispatch effectiveness to safety, customer experience, workforce development, and service profitability. You’ll partner closely with operating company leaders to establish consistent field operating practices, strengthen frontline leadership, improve performance, and build a scalable service operating model. The goal isn’t to remove local ownership—it’s to give our businesses the tools, processes, visibility, and operating disciplines they need to perform at their best. If you’ve spent your career in commercial mechanical or technical field services and know how to turn operational data into meaningful improvements in the field, this is an opportunity to make an impact across a growing organization.
