Have you helped a service company grow from $4M to $15M? We want to talk to you. First Response Chimney Sweeps & Services is a licensed and insured chimney, hearth, masonry and roofing contractor serving Virginia and West Virginia. We run multiple sweep, install and roofing crews and a walk-in showroom. Every job is turnkey. We have about 15 full-time employees and a clear plan to grow several times over in the next three years. We're not looking for someone to answer phones. We want an operator who has already been inside a home-service company while it scaled. You've seen what breaks when the job count doubles, and you've built the systems that fixed it. In this role you'll own the office side of the business and make it work at the size we're growing into. What you'll own Dispatch and capacity: Run the schedule for every crew. Optimize routes, balance workloads, and keep the calendar full without overbooking.
Fleet:
Build and run a maintenance program for the vehicles so trucks don't miss jobs. CRM and pipeline (Housecall Pro): Own the data, automations and pipeline stages. No lead goes cold, and every job moves to its next step.
Service plans:
Grow and manage the maintenance-agreement base, including renewals, scheduling and retention. This is recurring revenue, and we want it bigger.
Customer experience:
Manage inbound and outbound calls, texts and emails, and welcome customers into the showroom. Every touchpoint should feel white-glove.
Distributors and vendors:
Manage ordering, lead times, backorders and warranty claims across our manufacturers and suppliers.
Systems and process:
Write the SOPs, build the checklists, and track the KPIs that let the office run without the owner. Train and lead office staff as the team grows. Who you are You've worked at a service-based company (HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, pest, chimney or similar) that grew significantly while you were there, ideally from about $4M to $15M or beyond. You can name specific systems you built or improved and the results they produced. You have hands-on experience with a field service CRM (Housecall Pro, ServiceTitan, Jobber or similar), including automations and reporting. You're comfortable with dispatch, route optimization and fleet coordination. You can lead and hold people accountable. You don't just keep yourself organized.
You think in numbers:
booking rate, average ticket, renewal rate, response time. You take ownership, stay calm under pressure, and want to help build something. You have a valid driver's license.
