This role exists to lead a high-performing service operation that delivers operational excellence, customer trust, and measurable growth. The Service Manager ensures that every technician hour is purposeful, every customer interaction builds long-term loyalty, and every team member grows in capability and accountability.

This is not a maintenance oversight position. It is a leadership command responsible for performance, culture, safety, and revenue within the service department.

The previous Service Manager was promoted — a signal that performance is recognized and advancement is real.

Within the first 12 months, the Service Manager will:

• Lead, mentor, and develop service team members to achieve operational and customer service excellence.
  

• Recruit and retain top technical talent.
  

• Conduct structured performance coaching and evaluations.
  

• Foster a culture of accountability, professionalism, and continuous improvement.
  
  

• Ensure consistent, timely, high-quality service delivery.
  

• Build strong long-term customer relationships.
  

• Resolve complex service issues with practical, value-driven solutions.
  

• Prepare and deliver accurate service quotes.
  
  

• Drive service revenue through strategic labor utilization.
  

• Collaborate with sales and operations teams to identify growth opportunities.
  

• Expand service customer base while improving retention rates.
  
  

• Analyze shop capacity, technician productivity, and workflow efficiency.
  

• Coordinate scheduling to meet operational deadlines.
  

• Oversee warranty claims and ensure proper reimbursement.
  

• Maintain a safe, clean, secure facility environment.
  

• Prepare weekly and monthly performance reports.
  
  

This role is built for a leader who:

• Takes ownership beyond job description
  

• Sees systems, not just tasks
  

• Leads with clarity and accountability
  

• Values long-term relationships over short-term fixes
  

• Builds teams that outlast individual tenure
  

If you are a service operations leader who believes performance and culture go hand in hand — and you are ready to command a department with measurable impact — this is your opportunity to lead.

• Must have served in the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Space Force, U.S. Reserves, or U.S. National Guard.
  

• Proven Service Manager experience required; industry experience strongly preferred.
  

• Minimum 4+ years of leadership experience managing teams and operational performance.
  

• Demonstrated ability to sell labor and manage service revenue at the management level.
  

• Strong communication skills.
  

• Able to lead technicians, collaborate cross-functionally, and resolve customer concerns.
  

• High organizational discipline with the ability to prioritize and manage multiple moving parts.
  

• High school diploma or GED required; college degree preferred.
  
  

• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
  

• 401(k) Retirement Plan
  

• Health, Dental, Vision
