General Manager

General Manager – Birmingham & Huntsville, AL

Lead Two Growing Branches. Build the Future. Share in the Success.

We're seeking an experienced General Manager to lead offices in Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama for a well-established mechanical contractor specializing in mechanical installation, service, and building automation controls.

This is an opportunity to step into a business with an outstanding reputation, a loyal customer base, and an experienced team. This company has built its success on long-term relationships—with both customers and employees—and offers a family-oriented culture with historically low turnover.

One of the biggest opportunities for the incoming General Manager is to accelerate the growth of the service division by expanding recurring maintenance agreements, deepening customer relationships, and leveraging the company's outstanding reputation to capture additional market share. You'll have the autonomy and support to grow both branches, develop your teams, strengthen customer relationships, and directly benefit from the success you help create through an uncapped profit-sharing commission plan.

If you're entrepreneurial, people-focused, and excited about growing a business while maintaining a healthy work-life balance, we'd love to talk.

What You'll Do

• Lead the overall operations, financial performance, and strategic growth of the Birmingham and Huntsville branches.
• Develop and execute business plans that drive revenue, profitability, and market share.
• Build, mentor, and develop high-performing teams across operations, service, construction, sales, and administration.
• Foster a culture centered on accountability, safety, teamwork, and exceptional customer service.
• Strengthen existing client relationships while identifying new business opportunities.
• Collaborate with estimating, project management, service, and controls teams to ensure projects are delivered successfully.
• Monitor branch financial performance, budgets, forecasting, and profitability.
• Recruit, coach, and retain top talent while developing future leaders within the organization.
• Ensure operational excellence while maintaining the company's outstanding reputation in the marketplace.
• Partner with executive leadership to identify opportunities for continued growth and expansion.

Qualifications That Will Lead To Success

• Leadership experience within a mechanical contractor, HVAC contractor, plumbing contractor, building automation controls company, or related building equipment or services environment.
• Proven experience managing branch operations, business units, or multiple departments is desired, however senior service sales professionals interested in moving into a leadership role will be considered.
• Strong financial and operational business acumen.
• Demonstrated success developing employees and building strong teams, even if in a mentoring or team leader role.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
• Customer-first mindset with a passion for growing long-term partnerships.
• Ability to make sound business decisions while empowering others.
• Bachelor's degree is preferred but not required. Relevant industry experience is valued.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This isn't a turnaround situation. It's a chance to build upon an already successful operation.

You'll be joining a company known for:

• An outstanding reputation throughout the industry
• Exceptional employee retention and long-tenured teams
• A collaborative, family-oriented culture where people genuinely enjoy coming to work
• Leadership that values autonomy, trust, and work-life balance
• Significant growth opportunities throughout Alabama and the Southeast
• The ability to make a meaningful impact without unnecessary corporate bureaucracy

You'll have the resources, support, and flexibility to grow two successful branches while being rewarded for the results you deliver.

Compensation & Benefits

• Competitive base salary with uncapped incentive compensation based on the net profitability of both branches
• Excellent benefits package includes medical insurance with premiums 100% company paid for employees and their families
• Disability and life insurance
• Company vehicle and gas card
• 401K with match
• Generous PTO

If you're looking for an opportunity where your leadership can truly shape the future of a growing business—and where your success is directly tied to the company's success—we'd love to hear from you!
