Full Job Description
Description

Position at Tecta Colorado

The Commercial Roofing Service Manager (Service & Maintenance) is responsible for leading and strengthening the service department operating system, with clear ownership of planning, WIP management, scope discipline, customer commitments, and day-to-day execution while supporting continued service and maintenance growth. This is a leadership and systems role, not a project-only or field-only position. The Service Manager ensures service work is planned, priced, scheduled, executed, and closed out in a disciplined, repeatable way. This role requires a self-directed leader who takes ownership, sets direction, and executes without the need for close oversight.

Job Responsibilities Include:
  • Service Planning & WIP Ownership (Primary Accountability)
    • Owns the service backlog and WIP: what work is done this week, next week, and why.
    • Establish and run a weekly planning cadence that aligns labor, materials, access, and customer priorities.
    • Identify aging tickets, stalled jobs, and bottlenecks-and resolve them proactively.
    • Sets realistic commitments to customers based on capacity, not pressure.
    • Works closely with the Superintendent to execute and prioritize project
  • Scope of Work & Estimating Discipline
    • Establish and enforce service scope standards (inclusions, exclusions, assumptions).
    • Review and approve service scopes before work is scheduled.
    • Ensure scopes align with field crews scope.
    • Reduce scope gaps, rework, and "non-negotiated work" conversations.
  • Execution Leadership (Field & Office Alignment)
    • Lead and support the Service Superintendent and Service Coordinators.
    • Ensure crews are properly planned, supported, and set up for success.
    • Conduct jobsite visits as needed to reinforce quality, safety, and scope alignment.
    • Address execution issues at the system level-not just job-by-job fixes.
  • Customer Management & Communication
    • Own the service customer experience from proposal acceptance through closeout.
    • Ensure customers receive timely updates on scheduling, delays, and completion.
    • Handle escalations and recurring issues; fix root causes.
    • Build trust through consistency, not heroics
  • Financial & Closeout Responsibility
    • Own service margin performance through planning, labor efficiency, and scope control.
    • Ensure timely billing, clean documentation, and job closeout.
    • Partner with accounting on AR visibility and issue resolution.
    • Track and report key service KPIs (WIP, margin, cycle time, backlog).
  • Service Growth Enablement (Near-Term Support, Long-Term Structure)
    • In the near term, support selective estimating and customer development as needed.
    • Help define service offerings, pricing logic, and repeatable service programs.
    • Build the operational framework that an estimator-sales role will plug into.
    • Ensure selling aligns with what the department can execute reliably.

Positions Requirements:
  • Commercial roofing or comparable construction/service leadership experience.
  • Strong understanding of service execution, scheduling, and field operations.
  • Proven ability to plan work, manage WIP, and enforce standards.
  • Comfortable making prioritization decisions and holding others accountable.
  • Able to operate calmly in a high-volume, fast-response environment.

What We Offer:
  • Competitive salary and performance-based bonus structure (starting $100k DOE).
  • Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match.
  • Company vehicle or vehicle allowance.
  • Opportunity to shape and build our evolving PM function.
  • Stable, long-established company with strong regional reputation and national resources.
