The Asbestos & Environmental Services Manager is a platform-level operational leadership role responsible for building, growing, and standardizing asbestos and environmental services across High Ground's portfolio of restoration brands.

This is not a traditional field operations or project management position. We are seeking a proven operational leader who has progressed from hands-on asbestos abatement into business leadership and has successfully managed the operational and financial performance of an asbestos or environmental remediation business.

The Asbestos & Environmental Services Manager will partner with Brand General Managers and executive leadership to build scalable operating systems, develop standardized SOPs, improve profitability through KPI-driven decision making, ensure regulatory compliance, and support the continued growth of asbestos and environmental services across multiple brands and markets.

Partner with Brand General Managers to improve operational performance across multiple brands. Drive revenue growth, gross margin improvement, and operational excellence within asbestos and environmental services. Develop and monitor KPIs, dashboards, and operational scorecards to improve business performance. Own operational planning, budgeting, forecasting, pricing strategy, and profitability initiatives. Analyze business performance and implement corrective actions to improve productivity, quality, customer satisfaction, and financial results.

Support environmental service line expansion and acquisition integration across the High Ground platform.

Develop and maintain the High Ground "Asbestos-in-a-Box" operating playbook. Create standardized SOPs, workflows, estimating standards, project management processes, quality assurance programs, and operational controls. Establish consistent estimating, pricing, scheduling, documentation, compliance, and project execution standards across all brands. Build KPI dashboards and reporting tools using Power BI, DASH, and other business intelligence platforms. Identify best practices and implement scalable systems that improve operational consistency across multiple markets.

Serve as the company's subject matter expert for asbestos abatement and environmental remediation operations. Support brands in growing asbestos abatement, asbestos testing, mold remediation, and related environmental services. Provide operational guidance on estimating, project execution, licensing requirements, regulatory compliance, and environmental best practices. Develop standardized operating procedures that can be implemented consistently across multiple locations.

Coach and mentor Branch Managers, Operations Managers, and Environmental Services leaders. Support recruiting, onboarding, succession planning, and leadership development. Influence operational leaders across multiple brands without direct reporting authority. Foster a culture of accountability, operational excellence, continuous improvement, and safety.
