Senior Vice President Services

SVP, Services

Commercial HVAC & Mechanical Contractor

Virgina

A leading, private equity backed, full‑service HVAC and plumbing contractor specializing in large‑scale commercial construction projects is seeking a strategic and hands‑on SVP of Services to build and scale its commercial services division. The company delivers complex mechanical construction, controls, and plumbing solutions for blue‑chip general contractors across hospitality, multifamily, senior living, and institutional sectors.

Following a successful merger in recent years, the business has grown to approximately $200M in revenue and ~$20M EBITDA, with a strong pipeline of major construction projects and a rapidly expanding customer base. Backed by a reputable private investment firm, the company is now entering a transformative phase: shifting from a construction‑heavy mix toward a high‑margin, recurring commercial services platform.

This is a rare opportunity to lead that evolution and build a services organization from the ground up.

The existing services division ($10M) has strong foundational capabilities but significant untapped potential. The incoming SVP will be responsible for expanding preventative maintenance revenue by 4x by the end of 2026, professionalizing operations, and establishing a scalable services model across the Mid‑Atlantic/Southeast footprint.

This role is perfect for a seasoned commercial HVAC/MEP services leader who thrives in entrepreneurial environments and wants to create meaningful enterprise value.

• Develop and implement the operating model for a high‑performing services business
• Build standardized processes across estimating, dispatch, maintenance, controls, and customer communications
• Establish KPIs and dashboards focused on margin, labor utilization, contract performance, and technician efficiency
• Implement workforce planning, scheduling, inventory management, and field reporting frameworks

• Full accountability for top‑line growth and services profitability
• Improve job costing, margin management, pricing discipline, and contract mix
• Increase recurring revenue through PM agreements, monitoring, controls upgrades, and small service projects
• Lead the strategic shift from construction revenue toward high‑margin service‑based offerings

• Oversee technicians performing break/fix, PM, commissioning, and startup
• Build training, certification, and technician development pathways
• Drive improvements in safety, customer satisfaction, quality, and first‑time fix rate
• Foster tight coordination between construction, project management, and service teams
• Oversee services pipeline, estimating, and project selection
• Improve accuracy and standardization of proposals, scopes, and service agreements
• Build strong customer relationships with building owners, facility managers, and GC partners
• Support expansion of controls and automation offerings
• Leverage modern monitoring platforms and controls systems (including VRF/automation technologies)
• Integrate data‑driven insights into maintenance and service contract sales
• Differentiate the business through advanced controls capabilities and remote monitoring offerings

• Hire, mentor, and develop a high‑performing service operations and sales team
• Operate with an entrepreneurial, hands‑on approach
• Build a culture of accountability, process discipline, and customer‑centric thinking
• Partner closely with the CEO and private investment firm on growth strategy

• Leadership experience within HVAC, MEP, mechanical contracting, or commercial building controls
• Direct experience managing technicians and field labor
• Demonstrated P&L ownership or significant P&L influence
• Proven track record scaling a service division (ideally from $10M → $30–50M+)
• Strong understanding of commercial HVAC systems, commissioning, VRF, and controls
• Experience building preventative maintenance programs and recurring revenue models

• Familiarity with monitoring platforms, IoT/connected equipment, or controls software
• Experience in a private equity‑backed or high‑growth environment
• Exposure to integrating acquisitions or expanding into new markets

• Build a services division from the ground up with full autonomy
• Join a fast‑growing mechanical contractor with strong market credibility
• Backing from a well‑capitalized investment partner ready to support the services expansion
• Significant opportunity to create measurable enterprise value
• Clear leadership succession opportunities as the business diversifies and grows
