Field Service Program Manager
XNRGY Climate Systems is a North American leader in sustainable design and advanced manufacturing of custom air handling and liquid cooling systems. With decades of HVAC engineering and manufacturing expertise, XNRGY delivers innovative, energy-efficient solutions for mission-critical industries including hyperscale and modular data centers, healthcare, life sciences, semiconductors, and advanced manufacturing.
About the role
We are expanding our Service organization to support some of the world’s largest hyperscale data center projects. As part of this growth, XNRGY is seeking an experienced Field Service Program Manager to lead service execution across complex customer construction sites throughout the United States. This position will serve as the primary program leader responsible for coordinating post-production service activities including commissioning, startup, warranty, rework, and field support.
Working closely with customers, general contractors, field teams, engineering, manufacturing, and quality, the Field Service Program Manager will drive execution, manage escalations, and ensure successful delivery across multiple concurrent projects. This role is ideal for a strong communicator and operational leader who thrives in dynamic, customer-facing environments and can build trust while navigating complex technical and construction challenges.
Travel is a fundamental part of this role. The successful candidate may reside anywhere in the United States but must be willing to travel extensively (approximately 50–80%) to assigned customer project sites, primarily supporting hyperscale data center construction projects in Texas. Candidates should expect to work on-site at customer locations for extended periods during the work week, with travel schedules varying based on project needs.
Responsibilities
- Apply program and project management methodologies (PMI, Agile, Lean) to ensure scalable, repeatable, and cost-effective execution across service programs.
- Own and lead cross-functional internal and external teams across all service activities (rework, start-up, commissioning, warranty, and field support).
- Establish program governance, standard work, and execution frameworks to ensure consistency across projects and regions.
- Ensure employee supervision, safety compliance, and execution readiness across all field activities.
- Track program-level progress, risks, and dependencies, and adjust plans to meet delivery timelines.
- Serve as the primary escalation point and strategic liaison with external partners such as General Contractors; construction site presence required.
First 12 Months
- Own XNRGY service program execution: Act as primary program lead between XNRGY and its customers for all units shipped across multiple projects.
- Deploy KPIs & Reporting: Launch scalable dashboards to monitor rework timelines, cost efficiency, and field quality performance across programs.
- Support Hypergrowth: Build and standardize service program frameworks aligned with the company’s rapid expansion and increasing service demand.
Requirements
- 8+ years of progressive experience in service operations, program management, or project management.
- Proven track record managing complex service programs with highly technical products.
- Experience in manufacturing, HVAC, construction, or data center environments is strongly preferred; however, candidates from adjacent complex industries (e.g., aerospace, automotive, energy, medical devices) are encouraged to apply.
- Experience with ERP/CRM systems, service management platforms, and performance dashboards.
- An engineering background is preferred, but candidates with strong operational, business, or technical program management experience will be considered.
- Ability to travel across the U.S. (50–80%), with non-consecutive trips that vary by project needs—from short site visits to full weeks on-site. Candidates not based in Arizona should also expect regular time at the Arizona office.
