Job Details

Description

What You’ll Own

This isn’t a “sit in the office and manage from a distance” job.

You’ll be responsible for everything happening inside the branch—and making sure it runs like a well-oiled machine:

  • Lead all operations: service, parts, admin, and facility
  • Own the numbers: P&L, margins, productivity, and performance
  • Build and lead a high-performing, accountable team
  • Drive a culture that reflects the MacQueen Way—every day, no exceptions
  • Keep customers locked in through strong relationships and real follow-through
  • Identify problems early, solve them fast, and keep things moving
  • Push for continuous improvement across service, parts, and overall operations
  • Stay connected to your market—customers, municipalities, fire departments, and partners

What Sets This Role Apart

You’re not just managing—you’re running a business within the business.

  • You have real ownership over performance
  • You make decisions that actually move the needle
  • You build the team, the culture, and the reputation in your market

And when things get busy (because they will), you’re right there with your team—not above it.

What You Bring

  • 7 years leading teams in heavy equipment, environmental services, emergency apparatus, or similar operations
  • Proven ability to manage people performance financials at the same time
  • Strong understanding of service and parts operations
  • Confidence working with P&L, KPIs, and operational data
  • A leadership style that drives accountability, trust, and results
  • Ability to communicate clearly, solve problems fast, and lead under pressure
  • Valid driver’s license and a clean driving record

The Kind Of Leader Who Wins Here

You’ll do well in this role if you:

  • Don’t wait to be told—you see it, you own it
  • Can switch from strategy to execution without missing a beat
  • Hold your team accountable—but have their back 100%
  • Care about the details, because the details drive the outcome
  • Believe culture isn’t a poster—it’s how the team shows up every day

Why MacQueen

  • The work matters
  • The customers matter
  • The team matters

This isn’t always easy. It’s not supposed to be.

But if you’re the kind of leader who thrives on building, fixing, leading, and winning—there’s nothing better.
