Executive Leadership - Multi-region Operations - Financial Ownership - Customer Impact

Midwest Compressor Systems is seeking a Vice President of Field Services to set the strategy, strengthen the leadership team and scale field operations as our fleet and customer base grows. This executive will lead through the Director of Field Services and create a consistent, high-performing service organization across multiple operating regions.

This is a hands on executive role for a leader who can connect strategy to executions - balancing safety, customer responsiveness, equipment reliability, workforce capacity and financial performance. This position reports to the CEO and serves as a member of the senior leadership team.

What you will lead

• Set and execute a multi-year Field Services strategy aligned with fleet growth, geographic expansion and company priorities.
• Lead, coach and hold accountable the Field Services team while building leadership depth and clear accountability across all regions.
• Own Field Services financial performance, including budgets, profitability, labor utilization, overtime, travel, fleet expense and capital planning.
• Establish consistent operations standards for installations, preventive maintenance, troubleshooting, emergency response and service documentation.
• Serve as executive sponsor for strategic customers, major service commitments and complex customer escalations.
• Advance safety, technical capabilities, predictive maintenance, field service technology and continuous improvement throughout the organization.
• Partner closely with Sales, Finance and Operations to align capacity, customer commitments, workforce plans and equipment reliability.

This role offers the opportunity to shape the future of a critical operating function—not simply maintain it. The successful leader will have direct influence on customer experience, equipment uptime, organizational growth and the development of the next generation of field leaders.

Requirements

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in business administration, engineering, operations management or a related field - or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of progressive field service, industrial operations or energy-service experience, including 5+ years leading geographically dispersed teams.
• Provent experience leading leaders through a Director or Senior Management structure.
• Demonstrated ownership of departmental financial performance, operating and capital budgets, and scalable growth strategies.
• Strong knowledge of field operations, equipment reliability, workforce deployment and customer support in oil and gas, compression or a related industrial service environment.
• Executive level communication, negotiation and decision-making skills, with the ability to turn financial and operating data into action.
• Ability to travel 30%-40%, including overnight travel.

Preferred Experience

• Compressor leasing, packaging, maintenance or rotating equipment.
• Field service technology, customer portals or performance analytics.
• Geographic expansion, acquisition integration or rapid fleet growth.
