• Experience monitoring labor hours, technician productivity, service profitability, or operational KPIs.
• Strong customer service skills, including resolving escalations and managing commercial customer relationships.
• Proven ability to hire, train, coach, and develop employees.
• Excellent leadership, communication, organization, and problem-solving skills.

What success looks like

When a technician encounters a difficult repair, you're comfortable helping troubleshoot the issue and identifying the best solution.

You understand how labor hours, service response times, job profitability, and customer satisfaction impact the success of your department.

Most importantly, you're a leader who develops technicians, takes ownership of problems, and keeps operations moving.
