JOB SUMMARY

The Lead HVAC Technician - Operations Manager supports daily field operations by performing advanced service, repair, maintenance, and installation on residential HVAC systems while leading and developing the technician team. This role is the primary field lead - ensuring high-quality workmanship, a strong customer experience, and smooth coordination between technicians, dispatch, and management - and also serves as a trusted business partner to ownership and the General Manager in growing the business. You'll step in on escalations, set the standard for the crew, and help shape how we run.

As a lead here, you won't be stepping into a rigid, corporate environment - you'll be joining a growing, founder-led operation where your voice actually shapes how we work. We're building this business from the ground up, and the people who join early will help define our standards, our culture, and the way we serve the Smyrna, Vinings, and Chastain Park community. It's a startup environment backed by the stability, systems, and national brand recognition of One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning - the best of both worlds for someone who wants to grow, lead, and be part of something from day one.

A Georgia Conditioned Air Contractor (master / Class II Unrestricted) license is not required, but it's a strong plus - candidates who hold one can serve as our license qualifier and earn higher compensation.

• Reviews job-costing and P&L data to spot margin opportunities and improve profitability
• Ensures company vehicles are properly stocked, maintained, and presentable; oversees inventory and equipment readiness
• Promotes a safety-first culture and models safe work practices at all times

• High school diploma or equivalent
• 7+ years of successful residential HVAC service experience, including 3-5 years leading or mentoring technicians
• Strong diagnostic skills and technical competence
• Demonstrated leadership ability and business acumen - able to connect field performance to profitability
