You’ll develop SOPs and procedures, support hiring and training, dispatch crews, climb ladders when needed, and ensure that quality, safety, and profitability stay on target.

• Conduct morning kickoffs with technicians and crew leads.
• Review routing, workload, and asset allocation; dispatch trucks accordingly.
• Visit job sites to coach crews, validate SOPs, and ensure safe and consistent work.
• Troubleshoot issues in real time—staffing, equipment, customer concerns, etc.
• Maintain production dashboards and report weekly performance metrics.
• Work on continuous process improvement: SOPs, safety initiatives, training materials.
