A bit about us:

We're a private equity-backed industrial services platform headquartered in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro, with a 50-year operating history and a footprint that now spans dozens of service locations across North America. Following a recent take-private transaction with a top-tier global PE sponsor, we entered a new chapter of accelerated growth - combining the discipline of a long-established operator with the ambition and capital of a sponsor that backs category leaders.

Our work is mission-critical: the customers we serve simply cannot afford downtime, and the technical complexity of what we do is a meaningful moat. We operate through a mix of field services, in-shop operations, engineering, and corporate functions, and we serve a diversified blue-chip customer base across several of the most durable end markets in the industrial economy - segments benefiting directly from secular tailwinds in infrastructure modernization, electrification, and capacity expansion.

Growth has come from two engines running in parallel. Organically, we've roughly doubled the business over the last several years through disciplined commercial execution and operational improvements. Inorganically, we've completed nearly a dozen add-on acquisitions and have a robust, active M&A pipeline under our new sponsor - meaning integration isn't a one-time event here, it's an operating capability we're actively building.

Why join us?

This is a builder's seat, not a steward's seat. A few reasons that matter:

The mandate is real and visible to the top of the house. Transformation here isn't a slide deck - it's the central lever to hit the value creation plan our board and sponsor have aligned on. You'll have direct exposure to the CEO, CFO, and sponsor operating partners, and your work will show up in EBITDA.

You're not inheriting a finished machine. We have a mix of legacy systems, internally built tools, and modern platforms - including a CRM transformation already underway with a dedicated product owner we recently brought on. There's enough infrastructure to be useful, and enough white space to actually build something. If you've been frustrated by environments where everything is already standardized and your job is incremental tuning, this is the opposite.

M&A creates a steady drumbeat of integration work. With multiple acquisitions completed and more in the pipeline, you'll be playing acquisition integration as a repeatable muscle - not a one-off project. Few roles outside of pure PE operating partner seats give you that kind of repetition.

Compensation reflects the stakes. Competitive base, performance bonus tied to transformation and synergy outcomes, and a meaningful equity component in a sponsor-backed platform with a clear value-creation thesis.

Hybrid, with the team that matters around you. Headquartered in DFW with a flexible hybrid schedule. Senior leadership is on-site enough that you'll build real relationships, not just Zoom ones.
