Position Summary The General Manager owns the operations and the financials of Fitness Machine Technicians' greater Philadelphia branch. Three things decide whether the branch succeeds: a well-run field-service operation, a growing base of profitable customers, and a strong team. The goals are easy to measure, keep customers' machines running, grow the branch, and keep the branch profitable. You will lead a team of five to fifteen people spanning fitness machine technicians, dispatch and scheduling, parts and inventory, and administration. This is a hands-on job, not a desk job. You own the branch's sales and profit budget and drive toward it, run day-to-day field service, bring in new commercial business, and build a team known for skill, safety, and accountability. Core Responsibilities Financial Performance & P&L Ownership
  • Meet the branch's sales and profit budget targets and hold the team to a consistently high standard of customer service.
  • Carry full responsibility for the branch P&L, including pricing decisions, oversight of the repair budget, and approval of parts and equipment spending.
  • Track and report branch results monthly — P&L, weekly sales, expenditures, and rolling forecasts — and explain variances to the Vice President of Operations.
  • Manage the accounts receivable cycle from accurate invoicing and prompt warranty claims through consistent collections, keeping cash flow healthy.
  • Improve gross margin by managing labor productivity, billable-hour utilization, and first-time-fix results.
Service Operations Management
  • Oversee daily scheduling, dispatch, and routing so technicians reach residential and commercial customers promptly and complete work efficiently.
  • Hold the branch to high repair-quality standards, keep reworks low, and own first-time-fix and turnaround results.
  • Confirm every machine is repaired to manufacturer specifications and within warranty terms so customer equipment stays in service.
  • Review the measures that define service performance — response time, job completion, revenue per technician, rework — and act on them quickly.
Business Development & Growth
  • Assist with local marketing and outreach that win new commercial service agreements and grow the branch's book of business.
  • Build dependable, high-margin recurring revenue through preventive-maintenance programs and contract renewals.
  • Prospect and close new commercial accounts across the territory: gyms, hotels, universities, corporate fitness centers, and healthcare facilities.
  • Keep the sales pipeline current, track every opportunity, and give the Vice President of Operations dependable bookings forecasts.
Team Leadership & Development
  • Live FMT's core values: We're in It Together, Do Right Always, Own the Outcome, No Peacocks, and Excellence Is the Standard.
  • Hire, onboard, coach, evaluate, and retain fitness machine technicians and administrative staff.
  • Provide direction and revisit team goals and objectives on a regular cadence.
  • Cultivate a workplace built on performance, safety, ownership, and strong technical skills.
  • Grow the team's technical depth through hands-on training, manufacturer certifications, and cross-training.
  • Balance staffing and scheduling to meet demand without letting labor costs drift.
Customer Relationship Management
  • Lead the branch's customer service response, stepping in to resolve escalated complaints and protect customer satisfaction.
  • Negotiate and honor Service Level Agreements with corporate accounts such as gyms, hotels, and universities.
  • Grow and retain both commercial and residential customers throughout the territory.
  • Act as the senior escalation point for major accounts and personally lead the effort to win back relationships that are at risk.
Inventory & Vendor Relations
  • Control parts inventory so jobs close quickly, while limiting shrinkage and dead stock.
  • Develop strong ties with vendors and manufacturers to secure fair pricing, dependable parts supply, and warranty support.
  • Approve purchasing and keep inventory investment aligned with the branch budget.
Strategic Planning
  • Work with the Vice President of Operations to shape plans that lift branch and market performance and support the company's broader goals.
  • Revisit branch objectives on a set schedule and adjust the plan as needed to stay on target.
Compliance & Safety
  • Ensure field and shop practices meet safety requirements and applicable liability standards.
  • Keep the branch current on licensing and certifications required by city and state authorities.
  • Manage branch-level HR compliance in line with company policy.
  • Keep the service fleet maintained and insured, and hold the facility, tools, and diagnostic equipment to safe operating condition.
Required Qualifications
  • At least five years in operations, service, or branch management, with hands-on P&L or budget responsibility.
  • A clear ability to lead and grow a team of supervisors, office staff, and technicians.
  • A proven record of meeting sales, margin, and cost goals, including sound accounts receivable management.
  • Demonstrated success in sales and business development, including landing new commercial accounts and selling preventive-maintenance and service contracts.
  • A solid command of field-service operations: dispatch, routing, parts and inventory control, and warranty handling.
  • Working proficiency with service-management platforms, CRM systems, and everyday business and reporting software.
  • Strong communication, problem-solving, and relationship-building skills.
  • A valid driver's license and a clean driving record.
Preferred Qualifications
  • A history of expanding a branch or territory through new accounts and contract sales.
  • Enough mechanical or electronics knowledge to evaluate technician work with credibility.
  • Manufacturer service certifications, or the ability to earn them quickly.
  • A bachelor's degree in business, operations, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
