• Occasionally drive a company vehicle or your own personal vehicle to run site errands (e.g., supply pickups, vendor coordination) as needed

Own the Numbers

• Submit accurate daily and weekly reporting with thoughtful analysis
• Identify and act on trends in performance, customer feedback, and profitability

• Professional communication, organizational discipline, and problem-solving skills
• Commitment to schedule, standards, and accountability
• Experience leading teams of 10+ employees
• Valid driver's license and an acceptable driving record — this role requires occasional driving of a company or personal vehicle for site errands and vendor coordination
• Must pass a criminal background check and MVR check — this role requires driving
