About The Position

FirstCall Group is a national commercial HVAC and mechanical services platform built on strong local brands. We partner with strong local brands to build durable partnerships with our teams and our customers, ensuring our customers’ facilities are taken care of at the highest level. We grow two ways: organically and by acquiring excellent local businesses and creating a network where the whole is greater than the sum of our parts. The Integration Project Manager ensures our new partners have a successful transition to becoming successful FirstCall operating companies as a part of our national network. The Integration Project Manager owns the year 1 transition plan; working shoulder-to-shoulder with the acquired leadership team, the Regional VP who the acquired business reports to, and the Head of Integration who owns the playbook. This role owns the entire integration process from close through year 1, leading the process that turns new acquisitions into true FirstCall operating partners. Success is visible and measurable. You work alongside owners, founders, RVPs with P&L ownership, and platform executives. You’ll ensure integration efforts work towards a strategic end, not just a tactical one. You’re building the machine. Our integration is a repeatable operating system that still honors the unique strengths and needs of each business we acquire. As we continue to sharpen our approach, your field experience will shape the playbook.
