General Manager (Hollister)

Why This Role Matters

As a General Manager, you’re not just running a service center — you’re shaping the safety, growth, and livelihoods of the people who work there and the customers who depend on it. Your decisions directly impact financial performance, local reputation, and how safely work gets done every single day. This role exists because strong leadership at the local level is what turns strategy into real‑world results.

What Success Looks Like (and How the Team Works)

This is a hands‑on leadership role with full ownership of a single Service Center. You’ll work closely with frontline supervisors, account managers, and regional partners to balance safety, service, and profitability — especially during seasonal peaks and emergency events. By your first 90 days, success means the operation is running predictably, employees understand expectations, safety processes are being followed without reminders, and financial performance is clearly tracked and actively managed.

What You’ll Actually Do in Your First 30 Days

• Meet every direct report and key frontline leaders to understand how work really gets done — not just how it’s supposed to work.
• Review P&L, staffing levels, safety metrics, and customer mix to identify the top 3 operational or financial risks.
• Conduct site walk‑throughs focused on safety practices, operational flow, and equipment readiness.
• Align with your Regional Vice President on 90‑day priorities and define what “win” looks like for your Service Center.
