Operations Manager – Snow & Ice Management

Are you a driven operations leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-stakes environments? Do you excel at coordinating teams, solving problems in real time, and delivering exceptional service under pressure? If so, this opportunity is for you.

We’re seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Snow Operations Manager to lead snow and ice management operations across a dynamic portfolio of commercial properties. This is a critical leadership role responsible for ensuring safe, efficient, and high-quality service delivery during winter weather events.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Lead operations in a weather-driven, high-impact environment
  • Play a key role in strategic planning and execution
  • Join a company that values teamwork, accountability, and continuous improvement
  • Enjoy competitive compensation and strong benefits

What You’ll Do

As a Snow Operations Manager, you’ll be at the center of all snow and ice operations, ensuring seamless execution from planning through real-time storm response:

  • Lead and oversee snow and ice operations across routes, sites, and crews
  • Develop and optimize route plans, staffing models, and execution strategies
  • Coordinate pre-season preparation including equipment, materials, and staffing
  • Monitor weather forecasts and proactively plan operational responses
  • Dispatch and manage field teams during storm events
  • Maintain real-time visibility and adjust resources dynamically
  • Ensure strict adherence to safety protocols
  • Deliver exceptional client service by resolving requests quickly and professionally
  • Manage labor, equipment, and subcontractor performance
  • Track operations using company systems and reporting tools

What You Bring

  • 3–5+ years of operations leadership experience (snow & ice preferred)
  • Proven ability to manage multiple crews and simultaneous operations
  • Strong decision-making skills in fast-paced, high-pressure situations
  • Excellent communication, organization, and leadership skills
  • Tech-savvy with operations platforms and reporting tools
  • Flexibility to work on-call, including nights, weekends, and holidays during winter events
  • Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
  • Spanish fluency is a plus

Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Company vehicle provided
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Health, dental, vision, and life insurance
  • Disability benefits

What to Expect

This role is highly seasonal in intensity:

  • Winter (October–April): Hands-on leadership during active snow events
  • Off-season: Strategic planning, preparation, and operational improvements

Ready to Take the Lead?

If you’re energized by fast-moving environments and want to play a key role in delivering exceptional service during critical weather events, we want to hear from you.
