ResQ recently launched ResQ Service Group (RSG), a new commercial services line focused on repair, maintenance, and service solutions for multi-site commercial facilities. As we scale RSG, we’re hiring a General Manager, Field Service Operations to build and grow our internal HVAC/R technician program. You will own the field organization end-to-end, from technician hiring and technical standards to service operations, customer experience, and financial performance.

This is a hands-on role for someone with deep HVAC/R expertise who can build a high performing commercial service organization and replicate it across multiple markets.

What you will do:

• Build & Lead Technicians : Build the recruiting, assessment, onboarding, and retention process for HVAC/R technicians. Hire and develop service managers, lead technicians, and field technicians through clear performance standards, ride-alongs, technical audits, coaching, and corrective action.

• Technical & Field Operations : Establish licensing, insurance, vehicle, tool, safety, and background-check requirements, along with technical SOPs, diagnostic standards, job documentation, pricing guardrails, and escalation procedures. Own dispatch, capacity, utilization, first-time completion, callbacks, SLAs, and customer satisfaction.

• Commercial & Financial Performance : Own the service P&L, including labour productivity, overtime, fleet, parts, warranty expense, and gross margin. Build service-sales capabilities across repairs, replacements, maintenance agreements, and account expansion, partnering with Sales and Operations on estimating, scope validation, and complex opportunities.

• Scale Service Operations : Drive efficient service operations and determine when markets can support additional internal technicians. Build a repeatable operating model that can be successfully launched and scaled across new RSG markets.

Who You are:

• 5+ years of HVAC/R experience and 3+ years managing technicians, dispatch, or service operations.

• Strong commercial HVAC/R experience and the technical ability to diagnose difficult jobs and assess technician competency; residential-only experience is insufficient.

• Proven experience hiring and developing technicians while owning key service metrics such as revenue, utilization, gross margin, callbacks, and customer satisfaction.

• Experience selling or leading service sales, including repairs, replacements, maintenance agreements, or account expansion.

• Must hold an active Class A HVAC/R contractor license, or equivalent unrestricted state license, required to perform and supervise commercial HVAC/R work in the state where the role is based.

• Ability to travel approximately 25–40% and to travel between Canada and the United States.
