Oversee day-to-day BCR field operations across all three Field Supervisor teams, ensuring consistent service quality, response times, and account coverage
Serve as the escalation point for operational issues Field Supervisors can't resolve on their own
Drive consistency in how the three Field Supervisor teams operate — shared standards, shared technical practices, shared account-handling approach — so account experience doesn't vary by which supervisor a client happens to be under
Directly manage, coach, and performance-manage the 3 BCR Field Supervisors, including the newly added third supervisor

Maintain oversight of technician certifications/licensure and safety practices at the portfolio level

Qualifications:

7+ years of experience in HVAC field services, with meaningful time spent managing supervisors or managers, not just individual technicians
Demonstrated experience managing a multi-team or multi-crew field operation
Experience owning key client account relationships in a service industry context
Strong communication skills across technical, client-facing, and executive-reporting contexts
