Branch Operations Manager

Branch Operations Manager (BOM)

(People-First | Highly Organized | Coaching-Focused Leader)

The Kind of Leader We're Looking For

Are you the kind of leader who creates structure so others can succeed?

Someone who naturally looks out for their people, keeps things organized behind the scenes, and takes pride in helping a team grow-not by barking orders, but by coaching, guiding, and following through?

We are seeking a Branch Manager (BM) who leads with calm authority, consistency, and care. Someone who is steady, detail-oriented, and deeply invested in developing others.

Who We Are

For over 40 years, we've been family-owned and operated with a simple mission:

"Our Success is built on Loyalty, Experience, and Pride of our Team. Together, WE set the Standard as the 'Plumbers Plumber'."

That success shows up in the way we treat our customers and our employees. We value preparation over panic, coaching over criticism, and systems over chaos.

You will work closely with:

• The Regional Operations Center
