At Encore Fire Protection, we are proud to be the east coast's largest full-service fire protection company, serving over 90,000 customers from Maine to Louisiana. With a team of over 2,200 dedicated employees, we provide innovative, customized fire suppression, fire sprinkler, and fire alarm solutions that protect lives and properties every day.

Our goal is to deliver superior experience to those who trust us to safeguard what matters most. We are passionate about continuous growth, innovation, and maintaining a culture that thrives on success and commitment to safety.

Our mission? To be the best fire protection company the industry has ever seen. 

If you’re the kind of leader who can bring calm to a busy day, keep a team moving in the same direction, and still make customers feel taken care of, you’ll fit in well here. 

As our Service Manager, you’ll lead a high-volume service operation and a large team of office and field professionals. You’ll set clear expectations, remove roadblocks, coach your leaders, and keep an eye on the numbers while making sure the work gets done safely, efficiently, and to Encore standards. 

If you’ve owned results, enjoy building smarter processes, and like being the person others count on when priorities shift, this role will feel like home. 

On any given day, you are the person connecting the moving parts. You help the team stay focused, keep service work flowing, and make sure customers get clear communication and consistent follow-through. You balance safety, schedule, and financial performance while removing roadblocks so the team can deliver. That shows up in how you: 

• Oversee day-to-day service operations, ensuring timely, high-quality delivery and strong customer outcomes.
• Lead a large team of office and field professionals, providing hands-on support, clear direction, and consistent follow-through.
• Serve as a resource for technicians, offering guidance and practical recommendations on complex service situations.
• Partner with internal teams to support repair and remediation recommendations, ensuring solutions are accurate and aligned with customer needs.
• Communicate effectively with customers and take ownership of resolving service-related issues.
• Set goals and expectations for the team while identifying coaching, training, and development opportunities.
• Partner with senior leadership to drive departmental strategy, set operational targets, and improve profitability.
• Own the service department’s budget and P&L, focusing on smart decisions that support sustainable growth.
• Monitor KPIs and implement process improvements to streamline workflows, improve performance, and reduce friction. 

• Five or more years of management experience in a service-based business (HVAC, plumbing, facilities, or similar).
• Experience leading large, multi-functional teams (25+ employees preferred).
• Demonstrated success managing budgets and owning a department’s P&L.
• A strategic, process-oriented mindset with a track record of improving how work gets done.
• Strong problem-solving instincts and a calm, confident presence when priorities shift.
• Excellent communication skills and a natural ability to motivate, coach, and support others.
• Working knowledge of field service operations, including scheduling, dispatch, maintenance, and repair
• A customer-first approach and a commitment to service quality.

What Makes You Stand Out

• You have a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Management, or related field.
• You have experience in fire protection, mechanical, electrical, or a related specialty trade.
• You have familiarity with relevant fire protection and life safety requirements in your region.
• You have prior experience with project management or scheduling software.
• You have industry certifications or training related to construction, project management, or fire protection.

Salary commensurate with experience with opportunity for a results-driven bonus based on personal output and effectiveness in role. Expected salary range between $100,000 - 120,000 per year.
