HVAC Manager (Freeport)

What You'll Do

• Take full ownership of HVAC service and installation operations — residential and commercial — across our Illinois and Wisconsin locations.
• Manage technician scheduling, performance, and development, and build a bench of technicians who do the job right the first time.
• Hold every job to the Edelman standard — proper installs, honest diagnostics, no shortcuts.
• Manage job costing, estimates, and margin accountability for the department — this is your P&L to run.
• Solve problems before they escalate: when something goes sideways on a job site, you're the one who fixes it and keeps the customer's trust intact.
• Set the standard for safety and compliance: enforce safety protocols, EPA refrigerant compliance (Section 608), and code requirements without exception.

What We're Looking For

• Proven leadership experience managing residential and/or commercial HVAC operations.
• EPA Section 608 Certification required.
• Deep technical knowledge of HVAC systems, codes, and refrigerant handling — you can walk a job site and know within minutes if it was done right.
• Solutions Driven and Humbly Confident — a leader who takes ownership without needing to be the loudest person in the room.
• Comfortable owning job costing, scheduling, and margin accountability, not just technical oversight.
• A valid driver's license, a clean driving record, and the willingness to support multiple locations across our Illinois and Wisconsin service area as needed.
