What You'll Do:
• Own the Department: Take full ownership of HVAC service and installation operations - residential and commercial - across our Illinois and Wisconsin locations.
• Lead the Team: Manage technician scheduling, performance, and development, and build a bench of technicians who do the job right the first time.
• Protect Quality: Hold every job to the Edelman standard - proper installs, honest diagnostics, no shortcuts.
• Own the Numbers: Manage job costing, estimates, and margin accountability for the department - this is your P&L to run.
• Solve Problems Before They Escalate: When something goes sideways on a job site, you're the one who fixes it and keeps the customer's trust intact.
• Set the Standard for Safety and Compliance: Enforce safety protocols, EPA refrigerant compliance (Section 608), and code requirements without exception.
What We're Looking For:
• Experience: Proven leadership experience managing residential and/or commercial HVAC operations.
• Certifications: EPA Section 608 Certification required.
• Expertise: Deep technical knowledge of HVAC systems, codes, and refrigerant handling - you can walk a job site and know within minutes if it was done right.
• Mindset: You're Solutions Driven and Humbly Confident - a leader who takes ownership without needing to be the loudest person in the room.
• Business Acumen: Comfortable owning job costing, scheduling, and margin accountability, not just technical oversight.
• Dependability: A valid driver's license, a clean driving record, and the willingness to support multiple locations across our Illinois and Wisconsin service area as needed.
What Edelman Offers:
• Compensation: $100,000-$130,000 annually, commensurate with experience.
• Time Off: Paid time off, accrued in compliance with the Illinois Paid Leave for All Workers Act.
• The Loyalty Program: We think long-term. Our loyalty program runs for 50 years-the longer you stay, the more you earn.
• Total Protection: Health insurance (we cover a portion!), Vision, Dental, and a $25,000 Life Insurance policy at no cost to you.
• Future Focus: 401k through Vanguard with a 4% company match.
• The Perks: Access to "Access Perks" for discounts on travel, food, and shopping, plus voluntary benefits like Short-Term Disability.
• Growth: A real path to grow with us as Edelman scales toward $100 million and beyond.
