• Handle escalated customer service issues and ensure timely resolutions.

• Maintain compliance with company policies, safety standards, and operational procedures.

• Be willing to engage in all areas of branch operations—office, warehouse, and field—as needed.

Qualifications & Experience

• Proven experience in managing a branch or distribution business (preferably within water, wastewater, or groundwater-related industries).

• 4+ years of experience in pumps, valves, or related industrial equipment preferred.

• Strong leadership and coaching skills with the ability to inspire and engage a small, dynamic team.
