Description

Why LandPro Equipment?

We’re proud to be a trusted John Deere dealer serving communities across New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania but what sets us apart is how we show up every day.

Our goal is simple, to be the most respected dealership by living our PRO values: Professionalism, Respect, and Outstanding Service.

At LandPro Equipment, our team members aren’t just employees, they’re PROs.

A Day in the Life of a Service Manager

As a Service Manager, no two days look exactly the same.

One moment you may be scheduling work, helping prioritize technician workloads, or reviewing repair orders. The next, you may be assisting a customer, coaching an employee, troubleshooting an issue in the shop, or reviewing department performance metrics and financials.

You’ll work closely with the service team, parts department, sales team, and dealership leadership to keep operations running smoothly while creating a positive customer experience.

This is a leadership role for someone who enjoys being boots on the ground, solving problems, and building a strong team culture.

Every day is different, but the goal is always the same: support the team, take care of the customer, and drive a successful service operation.

• help coordinate customer events, clinics, and promotional activities
• ensure tools, equipment, and shop operations are maintained safely and efficiently

• enjoy leading people and building strong teams
• thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on environment
• know how to balance customer service with operational efficiency
• stay organized and focused when priorities shift throughout the day
• communicate effectively with customers, technicians, and leadership
• are comfortable making decisions and solving problems in real time
