The Service Manager ensures service work is planned, priced, scheduled, executed, and closed out in a disciplined, repeatable way. This role requires a self-directed leader who takes ownership, sets direction, and executes without the need for close oversight. Core Responsibilities 1.

Establish and run a weekly planning cadence that aligns labor, materials, access, and customer priorities. Identify aging tickets, stalled jobs, and bottlenecks-and resolve them proactively. Sets realistic commitments to customers based on capacity, not pressure. Works closely with the Superintendent to execute and prioritize projects 2. Scope of Work & Estimating Discipline Establish and enforce service scope standards (inclusions, exclusions, assumptions). Review and approve service scopes before work is scheduled. Ensure scopes align with field crews scope. Reduce scope gaps, rework, and "non-negotiated work" conversations. 3. Execution Leadership (Field & Office Alignment) Lead and support the Service Superintendent and Service Coordinators. Ensure crews are properly planned, supported, and set up for success. Conduct jobsite visits as needed to reinforce quality, safety, and scope alignment. Address execution issues at the system level-not just job-by-job fixes. 4. Customer Management & Communication Own the service customer experience from proposal acceptance through closeout. Ensure customers receive timely updates on scheduling, delays, and completion. Handle escalations and recurring issues; fix root causes. Build trust through consistency, not heroics. 5. Financial & Closeout Responsibility Own service margin performance through planning, labor efficiency, and scope control. Ensure timely billing, clean documentation, and job closeout. Partner with accounting on AR visibility and issue resolution. Track and report key service KPIs (WIP, margin, cycle time, backlog). 6. Service Growth Enablement (Near-Term Support, Long-Term Structure) In the near term, support selective estimating and customer development as needed. Help define service offerings, pricing logic, and repeatable service programs. Build the operational framework that an estimator-sales role will plug into. Ensure selling aligns with what the department can execute reliably. This role enables growth-it is not expected to be the long-term primary salesperson.
