HVAC Senior Operations Manager/ 2IC Role
We’re seeking a Senior Operations Manager / 2IC to lead day-to-day operations in a highly respected HVAC business. Originally a larger company, we strategically downsized and now run an agile, effective team of 12. Your job is not to reinvent the wheel, but to build on what works — improving efficiency, growing profitability, and freeing up the Director from day-to-day oversight.
You will be expected to:
- Take full operational control within 12 months
- Maintain set monthly in revenue
- Win set monthly in new work
- Improve gross margins through smarter planning and delivery
- Lead and develop our high-performing team
- Strengthen systems, processes, and client relationships
- Embody and protect our company culture
What We’re Looking For
- 15–20+ years of HVAC industry experience (ideally as a refrigeration mechanic or mechanical plumber; strong electricians will be considered)
- At least 5 years in a senior operations or leadership role
- Proven track record delivering profitable projects and managing teams
- Ability to lead sales efforts and maintain a strong pipeline
- Hands-on, humble, and driven — with strong commercial awareness
- A true team player with emotional intelligence and a “get the job done” mindset
Culture Fit – Non-Negotiable
Our business runs on three values:
- Humble – No egos. Everyone helps each other.
- Hungry – We work hard and take pride in delivering.
- Socially Smart – We’re emotionally intelligent and great communicators.
This person must align with and help protect that culture.
What’s on Offer
There is potential for future profit share and even an equity discussion for someone who proves to be the right long-term fit—commercially, culturally, and operationally.
