Job Summary
:
Percepto is seeking a Regional Operations Manager to serve as the senior on‑the‑ground leader and operational steward for our Midland, TX operations hub. This is a critical leadership position accountable for the day‑to‑day health, safety, and execution standards of the region. The successful candidate will own the facility, the equipment assets, and the local coordination required to keep deployment activities, ongoing field operations, and other field services work as well as the workshop execution running smoothly, safely, and to standard.

This is a dynamic, hands‑on "player‑coach" management role. There are no intermediate managers between you and your technical direct reports. You must maintain strong operational awareness by auditing field work regularly, supporting deployments or complex maintenance, and stepping in directly to resolve execution bottlenecks. You will leverage the technical SME (Subject Matter Expertise) of your Lead Technicians, but must provide the decisive operational leadership, sound judgment, and customer‑facing maturity needed to guide the region.

Furthermore, you will own the buildout and ongoing execution of a new service line, helping to shape how it is staffed, priced, delivered, and scaled, which requires simultaneously managing a mature autonomous operations business and a growing services business.

• Focus on the leadership development of the Lead Delivery and Lead Field Technicians, preparing them as senior ICs and future leadership candidates.
• Build a strong local safety and execution culture, serving as the cultural ambassador to the Florida HQ.
• Quickly resolve cross‑functional resource or priority conflicts between delivery, ongoing operations, and workshop needs.
• Manage select services involving data collection through diverse operational methods, leveraging strong coordination and ingenuity to produce and implement innovative new solutions.

• Direct daily workflows, lead operational stand‑ups, and align team resources to meet project timelines, ensuring a smooth transition from workshop preparation to field delivery.
• Take full ownership of the physical workshop environment, establishing and enforcing rigorous housekeeping, safety, and 5S standards to maintain a compliant, efficient, and professional workspace.
• Oversee the lifecycle, calibration, and preventative maintenance schedules of all site equipment and specialized tooling, ensuring all assets are fully certified and ready for deployment.
• Collaborate closely with the Lead Delivery Technician and Lead Field Operator to translate their technical insights into actionable operational plans, making critical, high‑pressure…
