What We're Looking For • Strong background in residential HVAC, plumbing, or other home services businesses. • Experience in service management, technician sales training, business coaching, or field operations leadership. • Proven ability to coach technicians on sales, customer communication, and service call performance. • Strong understanding of home services KPIs, including average ticket, close rates, revenue per technician, and service agreements. • Comfortable conducting ride-alongs, providing direct feedback, and working closely with field teams. • Excellent communication skills and the ability to connect with technicians at all experience levels. • A hands-on coaching style with the ability to motivate, develop, and hold teams accountable. • Experience with Service Titan or similar field service management software preferred. • Experience with Nexstar Network, Blue Collar Success Group, Service Nation, BDR, or similar training organizations is a plus. Location Requirements This position supports our Sila Boston operations and requires regular in-person interaction with technicians and service managers. Candidates must live in Stoneham, MA, or the surrounding area and be able to regularly report to our Stoneham location. What Success Looks Like • Technicians are more confident presenting options and communicating with customers. • Improved average tickets, conversion rates, and service agreement opportunities. • Stronger service managers who consistently coach and develop their teams. • More consistent service call processes and a better overall customer experience. • Measurable improvements in technician productivity and service department performance.
