Full Job Description
The Role

We're looking for a hands-on, results-driven Service Manager to lead our Orlando Service Center and play a key role in delivering exceptional service experiences for our customers.

This is more than a service leadership role. As Service Manager, you'll have ownership of the service operation's people, performance, and profitability. You'll lead a team of skilled technicians, drive customer satisfaction, support business growth, and influence operational excellence across the branch.

If you're a strong operational leader who enjoys developing teams, improving processes, and delivering measurable business results, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do:

Lead a High-Performing Service Team
  • Inspire, coach, and develop a team of Service Technicians through strong leadership, accountability, and employee engagement.
  • Foster a culture focused on safety, collaboration, continuous improvement, and customer success.
  • Support recruiting, onboarding, workforce planning, succession planning, and employee retention initiatives.
  • Provide ongoing performance management, feedback, and career development opportunities.


Drive Operational Excellence
  • Oversee day-to-day service operations to ensure work is executed safely, efficiently, and profitably.
  • Optimize technician utilization, scheduling, resource allocation, and field execution.
  • Monitor service order management, backlog, inventory, fleet utilization, tools, and operational assets.
  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives that enhance productivity, efficiency, and customer experience.


Own Financial Performance
  • Manage the service center P&L and drive achievement of revenue, gross margin, utilization, productivity, and profitability targets.
  • Monitor key performance indicators and take proactive action to improve business results.
  • Support forecasting activities and maintain visibility into workload planning, labor requirements, and future resource needs.
  • Manage departmental expenses and contribute to overall branch financial success.


Partner to Grow the Business
  • Collaborate closely with Sales, Operations, and Regional Leadership teams to identify and capture new service, aftermarket, rental, and capital project opportunities.
  • Drive lead generation activities and support commercial growth initiatives.
  • Expand customer relationships, improve retention, and increase service penetration within existing accounts.
  • Ensure successful execution of customer projects from planning through completion.


Deliver Exceptional Customer Experience
  • Build strong partnerships with customers, vendors, and internal stakeholders.
  • Proactively address customer concerns and ensure timely resolution of issues.
  • Maintain a relentless focus on delivering safe, reliable, and high-quality service.


What You'll Bring:
  • 5 + years of experience in service, field operations, maintenance, technical services, or related industrial environments.
  • 2-3+ years of direct leadership experience managing technicians, field service teams, or operational personnel.
  • Demonstrated success leading teams and driving operational performance.
  • Strong business acumen with experience managing budgets, KPIs, productivity, and profitability.
  • Excellent communication, coaching, and conflict resolution skills.
  • Effective planning, organization, and workforce management abilities.
  • Valid driver's license and ability to obtain required customer site clearances when needed.


Preferred Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of military, technical, or industry experience.
  • Experience within water, wastewater, industrial, municipal, utilities, manufacturing, or related industries.
  • Experience managing service operations, field teams, scheduling, workforce planning, and customer-facing operations.
  • Familiarity with ERP and business systems such as SAP, Oracle, Workday, or similar platforms.
