Role Overview:

We are seeking aCEO to lead the transformation and long-term scale of an existing $20M operating business into a national, standalone technical services company. The business is currently wholly owned and operating as a business unit within a parent organization and will be carved out into its own entity in the near future. The business focuses on commercial HVAC control systems installation.

This role owns full P&L responsibility and is accountable for building the organizational structure, systems, and leadership required to scale the business to $200M+ in revenue over a 7–10 year horizon, while maintaining a margin-first growth discipline.

The General Manager will work closely with the President (who retains strategic ownership) and will have full authority over execution, operations, hiring, and business setup, including oversight of the staged transition away from shared services (HR, finance, ERP, etc.).

This is an operator role, not a sales-led or investor-facing position.
