About the Company

Join Our Team: We're an established Chicagoland HVAC and water heating company with over 20 years serving residential and commercial customers. We believe that earning customer trust through expert service, reliable maintenance, and quality installations is key to our growth.

The Opportunity

We're looking for an HVAC Service Manager to own everything technician- and installer-related. This is not a dispatch or office position. It's a working leadership role for a former HVAC service technician who knows the trade from the truck up, is still willing to run calls, and is comfortable working directly with customers every day.

You'll lead our service techs and installers, build their skills, hold the team to a high standard, and step in personally on warranty call-backs, tough jobs, and staffing gaps. You'll be a direct point of contact for our residential and commercial customers, and you'll help grow the business through commercial maintenance contracts, maintenance programs, and accurate job scoping.

What You'll Do

  • Maintain constant awareness and supervision of all service, maintenance, and installation jobs

  • Manage and direct all technicians and installers, who report directly to you

  • Ensure the technical accuracy, efficiency, and budget compliance of every job

  • Create and run a technical training program to grow technician and installer skills

  • Serve as a direct point of contact with customers to strengthen relationships and improve retention

  • Provide on-call support to techs and installers by phone or in person, and take over jobs when needed to ensure they're completed successfully

  • Personally run all warranty call-backs to identify technical deficiencies and coach the responsible tech or installer

  • Run jobs yourself during staffing shortages

  • Oversee all field staffing, including job postings, interviews, hiring, and terminations

  • Hold technicians accountable for punctuality, work order completeness, average ticket size, approved work recommendations, and tech-sold maintenance contracts

  • Help the Warehouse Manager interview, hire, and train warehouse helpers

  • Help the Project Management team accurately scope and sell jobs

  • Develop SOPs for maintenance scopes, refine existing maintenance offerings, and introduce new maintenance programs

  • Own all commercial maintenance contracts, including their sales and execution

  • Work with management to develop field bonus and commission programs, and to set your own KPIs, growth metrics, and performance benchmarks

Requirements

  • Hands-on background as an HVAC service technician running calls for residential and commercial customers

  • Extensive recent customer-facing service experience, including presenting repair options and recommendations directly to customers

  • Hands-on chiller and commercial boiler experience

  • Willingness to run calls, take over jobs, and personally handle warranty call-backs

  • Experience leading, training, and holding field technicians accountable

  • Comfortable hiring, coaching, and when necessary terminating field staff

  • Valid driver's license with a clean driving record

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous service manager or lead technician experience with a service contractor

  • Experience building a technical training program

  • Commercial maintenance contract sales and management experience
