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.
