About The Position

Dynamic EcoHome is looking for a Field Operations Manager to build Houston into a high-performing, scalable field operation. This role is designed for an ambitious engineer who wants more than a traditional technical position. You will apply engineering judgment to real-world operations, lead field teams, redesign inefficient processes, solve complex installation challenges, and directly influence the growth of an entire market. You will have the autonomy to challenge existing methods, introduce better systems, develop future leaders, and turn your ideas into measurable improvements. If you naturally see what an operation could become, move quickly to improve it, and know how to bring people along, this role offers the ownership and visibility to make a significant impact. This is not a maintenance role. It is an opportunity to build, lead, improve, and scale.
