Job Description
This platform sits at the intersection of manufacturing, industrials, logistics, and essential services — sectors where we have deep operating experience and proven success. The mission is to build the next-generation independent leader in a $100B+ fragmented industry, spanning janitorial, engineering, HVAC, lighting, energy efficiency, pest control, sustainable/LEED cleaning, and other maintenance verticals.
The CEO will take the reins of a powerful foundation and lead the integration of three regional businesses into one national, institutional-quality operator — uniting teams, driving efficiencies, and positioning the platform for sustained growth through both organic initiatives and acquisitions.

Leadership & Team Building
Recruit, develop, and inspire a world-class executive team across operations, finance, sales, and HR.
Blend entrepreneurial agility with institutional rigor to professionalize and scale the organization.
Be a visible, hands-on leader — credible to both frontline employees and investors.
