- Experience in HVAC, mechanical, or industrial distribution strongly preferred
- Proven track record of driving growth, improving operations, and leading teams

- Hands-on, player-coach mentality-you lead from the floor, not just the office
- Self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset and bias for action
What Success Looks Like- Consistent sales and margin growth
- A high-performing, accountable, and engaged team
- Best-in-class customer experience across all locations
- A parts operation that runs like a business-not just a support function
Why This Role- High visibility with real influence on the business

- Autonomy to lead-not just manage
- Performance-driven culture that rewards results
- Competitive compensation + incentives tied to impact
