About the Role

At ICONIX Waterworks, we help deliver the infrastructure that keeps communities running. Our products and solutions support clean drinking water, fire protection, stormwater management, and critical utility systems that serve neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and municipalities.

From new construction and infrastructure improvements to emergency repairs, our customers rely on us to provide the right solutions when they matter most.

We're seeking a motivated and people-focused leader who thrives on driving operational excellence, developing high performing teams, and delivering exceptional customer experiences. This is more than a management role; it's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by leading a branch that helps deliver the essential infrastructure communities depend on every day.

• Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing branch team, creating a culture of accountability, collaboration, safety, and customer-focused service.

• Champion a strong safety culture by ensuring compliance with safety programs, facilitating training initiatives, and promoting safe work practices throughout the branch.
