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.

About Brown's Tree Service

Brown's Tree Service is a growing Topeka-area company providing professional tree services and large-scale storm-response services. We operate multiple crews and specialized equipment and need an operations leader who can help us continue growing without sacrificing organization, accountability, or profitability.
