• Set clear expectations and hold your team accountable for results.
• Partner with Sales, Installation Coordinators, Warehouse, Fabrication, and Operations to ensure seamless project execution.
• Ensure every job is fully prepared with the right equipment, materials, permits, and resources before technicians arrive on site.
• Monitor labor productivity, installation quality, job costs, and departmental performance to drive profitability.
• Resolve challenges quickly and professionally while protecting both the customer experience and company reputation.
• Lead daily huddles, weekly meetings, and one‑on‑one coaching sessions that motivate your team to perform at their best.
• Develop future leaders by mentoring technicians and creating clear paths for career growth.
• Continuously improve systems, processes, and workflows to increase efficiency and deliver exceptional results.

You bring:

• Proven success leading HVAC installation teams in a residential service environment.
• Strong leadership experience with a track record of building high-performing teams.
• A passion for coaching people and helping technicians reach their full potential.
• The confidence to make decisions, solve problems, and lead from the front.
• Excellent organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Strong knowledge of HVAC installation practices, safety regulations, and local code requirements.
• A relentless commitment to quality, efficiency, and customer satisfaction.
• Financial awareness with experience managing labor, productivity, and departmental performance.
