Service Manager

At VC3, we don’t just solve IT problems — we own them. We serve hundreds of municipalities and organizations across the United States and Canada, bringing IT to the people who need it most. We believe in earning trust, having a growth mindset, and delivering excellence every single time.

We’re a team of doers, builders, and tech whisperers who live by 4 core values:

Go Beyond |
Own It |
Be Curious
| Serve as One

We pride ourselves on making IT personal, making IT easy, and getting IT right. And it all starts with our talented team that is committed to raising the bar.

The primary focus of the Service Manager I is to manage and lead their team of Field Engineers in providing a consistent level of quality and service to support our clients. With that, the Service Manager I must be able to deliver effective leadership, strategy, follow up and direction that aligns with the overall goals of the company. We must continually train and educate employees on why our people, process and technology standards exist and how it benefits our customers and VC3.
