• Act as the centralized customer communication hub, providing consistent national messaging despite decentralized execution.
• Drive regional accountability by monitoring performance trends, correcting systemic issues, and reinforcing standardized delivery models.
• Prevent scope drift by ensuring all branches adhere to the contracted national scope, pricing, and commercial terms.
• Lead post‑project reviews to capture lessons learned and continuously improve our national modernization delivery model.
• Translate execution status and risk into executive‑ready updates for strategic customers and internal leadership.

• Drive profitable modernization performance across all national portfolios through disciplined pricing, accurate scoping, and strict adherence to national terms.
• Partner with branches to maintain visibility into job costing, cost‑to‑complete, margin trajectory, and financial variances throughout the project lifecycle.
• Own national financial governance for modernization projects, including:
  • Booked vs. billed monitoring
  • Margin erosion identification
  • Cost‑to‑complete tracking
  • Compliance with national pricing frameworks
• Lead the collections strategy for all nationally sold modernization jobs by coordinating with branches, billing teams, and branches to resolve disputes and accelerate AR.
• Serve as the escalation point for customer billing concerns, ensuring fast resolution and minimal financial exposure.
• Implement margin protection controls, such as change‑order discipline, documentation standards, and financial checkpoint reviews.
• Ensure modernization delivery supports organizational revenue, margin, and year‑over‑year growth objectives.

• Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Business, Engineering or related field.
• Minimum 10 years of elevator project management experience and previous managerial experience
• Thorough knowledge of elevator equipment and installation methods, and ability to lead installation crews
• Ability to read and interpret architectural and structural drawings
