  • Set account service standards and pricing guidance that Field Supervisors and technicians work within
  • 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
  • Lead the hiring process for the open Field Supervisor req and any future Field Supervisor or technician hires
  • Build supervisor capability so each can run their crew with real autonomy, rather than escalating routine matters upward

  • Reports portfolio-level account and operational performance to Oper

  • Identify opportunities to improve operational
  • Ensure field work and account agreements align with contract requirements, codes, and regulatory standards across all teams
  • Maintain oversight of technician certifications/licensure and safety practices at the portfolio level

  • Experience owning key client account relationships in a service industry context
  • Strong communication skills across technical, client-facing, and executive-reporting contexts
  • Valid driver's license and reliable transportation
