West Coast District Manager

About The Opportunity

We're a growing, privately-owned industrial equipment field service company specializing in the maintenance, repair, retrofit, and installation of large rotary processing equipment used in heavy industrial and mining plants. As part of a strategic territory expansion, we're adding a dedicated leader to run our western operations.

Your Role

As District Manager, you'll operate as a business leader responsible for a multi-state territory spanning Nevada, California, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. You'll oversee sales, operations, and team development while driving revenue growth and ensuring successful project execution — running what is effectively your own franchise of an established, growing company.

What You'll Do

• Lead and manage a multi-state territory, overseeing sales, operations, and overall business performance
• Build, develop, and mentor a local team of 3-4+ people (shop, welders, sales, maintenance techs)
• Drive revenue growth through direct sales strategy and hands-on customer relationship management
• Personally quote, plan, and execute field service jobs — including mechanical maintenance, rework, retrofit, and installation of rotary processing equipment
• Get hands-on with mechanical problem-solving at customer sites
• Manage gross margin and P&L performance for the district

What You'll Bring

• 7-10+ years of experience in heavy industrial environments (field service, engineering consulting, or construction preferred)
• Direct field service experience — able to personally organize and quote repair jobs, not just oversee from a distance
• Strong mechanical aptitude and comfort being hands-on, not behind a desk
• Proven sales, quoting, and gross margin/P&L ownership
• Demonstrated leadership with team-building capabilities
• Entrepreneurial spirit and comfort operating with significant autonomy
• Willingness to travel heavily within the territory (near-full-time early on, settling to roughly half-time as the local team builds out)
• High school diploma or GED required; engineering background a plus
• Authorization to work in the U.S. without sponsorship

Compensation

$75K–$95K base plus uncapped commission (3% of gross profit margin on district sales). Total compensation typically $125K–$155K+, with year-one OTE north of $160K.

Why This Role

You'll run a stand-alone business division with roughly 80% autonomy and 20% corporate support, inside a company with a strong growth track record and no debt. This is a rare mix of entrepreneurial freedom and established backing — ideal for someone who wants ownership without starting entirely from scratch.
