About The Position

JM Test Systems provides calibration, test and measurement equipment, and technical services across multiple business segments and service locations.

Our network of locations is where JM Test Systems delivers for customers every day, in our labs, on our rental floors, and in the field. As we grow, both organically and through acquisitions, we're looking for a Director of Operations to bring our locations together into one consistent, scalable operation.

You'll partner with our Chief Revenue Officer, Director of Marketing, and division managers to grow market share, sharpen pricing and service offerings, and bring in the processes and technology that help our teams work smarter. You'll thrive here if you're a strategic, data-driven leader who develops strong teams, stays close to customers, and has built consistency and scale across a growing, multi-location business.
