About the Job

CDS Home Services is seeking an experienced and entrepreneurial Master Electrician to join our leadership team. This is a high-accountability leadership role with full responsibility for P&L, job costing, estimating, field execution, and back office operational support, reporting directly to the President and CEO.

The ideal candidate is a builder: someone who creates repeatable systems, develops talent, and runs the business as if the capital were their own. You will lead a team of 8–12 field employees ranging from apprentices to journeymen, serve as license of record enabling CDS to pull permits across four states, and act as a technical authority in the sales and estimating process.

This is not a supervisory role with a side of paperwork; it is a business leadership role held by someone who also happens to be a Master Electrician.

• Ensure all work is completed to code, safely, and to the highest quality standards across MD, PA, VA, and DE.
• Serve as license of record, authorizing permit applications managed by the CDS office team.
• Conduct field inspections and quality assurance checks on completed installations.
• Lead team in diagnosing and resolving complex electrical issues escalated.
• Lead, mentor, and develop a field team of 8–12 employees, including apprentices and journeymen, fostering a culture of excellence, accountability, and continuous growth.
• Set clear performance expectations and provide regular coaching and feedback.
• Build and develop the field team in alignment with your own standards of craftsmanship and professionalism.
• Create repeatable playbooks and standard operating procedures — systematize what works so the business does not depend on heroics.
• Collaborate with management to identify training needs and support career development pathways for field staff.
• Champion a positive, team-oriented work environment that reflects CDS's values.
• Partner with the field estimator to conduct site assessments and develop accurate, competitive estimates.
• Provide technical expertise during customer consultations to build trust and drive conversion.
• Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities in the field that align with customer needs.
• Support the development of pricing and scoping standards to improve estimate accuracy and protect margin.
• Conduct generator estimates and consultations with customers
• Follow up on leads, estimates, and pending sales to drive close rates
• Serve as a knowledgeable point of contact for generator products and solutions
• Own the full P&L for CDS field operations: revenue, gross margin, job costing, and unit economics across the service territory.
• Track job estimate-versus-actual; identify variances, close gaps, and implement corrective action with urgency.
• Drive attach rate, first-time fix rate, completion quality, and rework metrics with a bias for accountability and measurable outcomes.
• Report directly to the President and CEO with transparency on performance, risks, and operational priorities.
• Actively manage field operations with a focus on efficiency, cost control, and profitability.
• Contribute to operational process improvements…
