About the Opportunity

A top-tier, family-owned construction and service company is seeking a Vice President of Service to lead and strategically grow a $15M+ service division toward a $25–30M goal over the next five years. This is a key executive leadership role responsible for driving growth, leading teams across the state, and shaping the long-term strategy of a 24/7 service organization that supports critical infrastructure in highly regulated industries.

The Vice President of Service will serve as the Driver of the Service Division — setting vision, driving business development, developing people, and ensuring operational excellence. This person will report directly to the Vice President & General Manager and sit on the Executive Leadership Team.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead all aspects of the Service Division across multiple regions, overseeing field operations, internal operations, and regional managers.
• Partner with sales and executive leadership to define and execute the strategic growth plan for Service.
• Drive expansion into new areas such as electrical, petroleum, and building maintenance while maintaining exceptional service standards.
• Develop and execute business plans for new service offerings, including compliance, electrical maintenance/testing, and facility support.
• Build a culture of accountability, performance, and professional development among service technicians and managers.
• Oversee recruitment, training, and retention of service technicians; ensure leadership pipelines are developed within the division.
• Represent the company at industry associations (PEI, etc.) and with customers, vendors, and partners.
• Manage financial performance to achieve 30–40% gross profit targets and deliver consistent revenue growth.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 10+ years of progressive leadership experience in service operations, ideally within petroleum, electrical, HVAC, or other regulated technical fields.
• Experience scaling a multi-location service business with dispatch and field teams.
• Proven ability to blend strategic sales, operational management, and people leadership .
• Background growing service revenue through maintenance programs, compliance work, and/or recurring service contracts.
• Strong understanding of industry compliance and safety standards.
• Exceptional interpersonal and leadership skills — able to connect with field techs and executives alike.
• Comfortable navigating organizational politics and influencing at all levels.
• Curious, humble, and growth-oriented — not a “top-down boss” culture fit.

Why This Role

This is a rare opportunity to step into a key leadership role at a well-established, values-driven organization that’s investing heavily in its people and long-term growth. The company operates at the forefront of petroleum, electrical, and building service — serving mission-critical facilities across Michigan and beyond.

You’ll have the autonomy to shape the future of the Service Division while being part of a collaborative executive team dedicated to building sustainable, people-first growth.
