Job description

General Manager | Plumbing & Sewer | New Jersey | Base: $160,000-$200,000 + Bonus + Equity | On-site

An investor-backed plumbing and sewer business in New Jersey is hiring its next General Manager.

It is a long-established local name with a loyal customer base, and a clear plan to grow to over $15M.

Volume is not the constraint. The brand is trusted, the customer base is deep, and demand keeps coming in. What the business has never had is a formal sales process, structured training, or a program for going back to its own customers.

Average ticket has room to roughly double. That is the opportunity, and it is the job.

This is a confidential search. The company name is not disclosed at this stage.

The Role:

You own the full P&L and the day-to-day running of the business across office and field, a team of 30 to 50. You step into a seat with no management layer beneath it, with a structured handover period to get you up to speed. You work directly with the ownership group.

What you’re actually building here:

• Full P&L ownership across field and office, with no management layer in place today


• A sales process, financing offered on every sale, maintenance memberships, and a repeat-customer program, none of which exist at scale yet


• A restructured office and a service leadership layer, with clear roles and accountability for a team that has never had either


• Average ticket and revenue both moving toward double where they are today


• A more professional operation that keeps what made the business trusted: its culture and its long-tenured team

Why Strong Operators Take This Seat:

This is a real GM mandate over an established local brand, with a plan to double the business and the backing to do it. Modern systems and in-house accounting are already in place, and ownership is holding a longer list of improvements for the right GM so the changes land with you leading them.

The ownership is patient. There is no plan to sell in three to five years, and bolt-on acquisitions become a real option once the core business has grown. Equity here suits an operator who wants a long-term home and is willing to compound value rather than cash out early.

What the Role Requires:

• Deep plumbing credibility. You understand the trade itself and have the standing to be respected by technicians


• Full P&L ownership across office and field, with results you can explain: the size of the business, what you inherited, what you changed, and what moved


• Experience lifting average ticket through pricing discipline, a sales process, financing, and maintenance agreements


• Experience leading a long-tenured, loyal team through change by earning trust before holding people accountable


• ServiceTitan proficiency is preferred: you know how to run a business on the platform and lead technicians to use it, not just read reports from it


• A hands-on style, comfortable in the detail of a smaller business


• Experience scaling or professionalizing a business in the $5M to $15M range is a strong plus, as is acquisition experience


• Based in New Jersey. Relocation considered for the right candidate

What This Role Is Not For:

• A title upgrade without real P&L ownership


• A regional manager who leads from a distance and does not want to work in the detail


• Someone who arrives with a playbook and moves on the team before learning the business


• A capable operator from another trade without the plumbing credibility to earn the field’s respect


• Anyone looking for an exit in three to five years

Compensation:

• Base salary $160,000-$200,000, with operators who have scaled and professionalized a similar business toward the top


• Performance bonus tied to EBITDA


• Equity participation


• Health and dental, and a 401(k)
