Director of Regional Operations

Job Description:

Develop Leaders. Strengthen Operations. Keep the ENERGY Moving.

Energy Diagnostics is hiring two Directors of Regional Operations for our Residential Division.

Each Director will lead one of our two residential regions, overseeing approximately 25–35 team members through three Team Managers. The role will focus on developing leaders, strengthening operations, supporting key client relationships, and helping the Residential Division continue to grow and improve.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys developing people as much as improving processes. Someone who takes ownership, communicates clearly, solves problems, and is willing to step in when needed.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact within your region and across the Residential Division.

About Energy Diagnostics

Energy Diagnostics is a family-owned company with more than 90 team members and decades of experience serving many of the nation’s largest homebuilders. We provide residential energy modeling, HVAC design, HERS ratings, and field verification services across multiple states.

We’re proud of the technical expertise we’ve built and the culture behind it. We operate using the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), believe in continuous improvement, and encourage our leaders to look beyond day-to-day management. If you enjoy finding better ways to work and developing the people around you, you’ll fit in well here.

Our Core Values

At Energy Diagnostics, ENERGY is more than what we do. It shapes how we lead, solve problems, support one another, and enjoy the work along the way.

  • Excel with humble confidence
  • Never stop growing
  • Encourage others’ success
  • Resolve issues
  • Go for the greater good
  • YOLO! Enjoy the journey!

As Director of Regional Operations, you’ll help keep that ENERGY strong throughout your region by supporting your Team Managers, recognizing these values in action, and reinforcing them through everyday leadership and decision-making.

What You’ll Do

As Director of Regional Operations, you’ll lead your region with a focus on people, performance, and continuous improvement.

You will:

  • Lead, coach, and develop three Team Managers.
  • Provide leadership and support for approximately 25–35 team members.
  • Build a positive, accountable, and high-performing team culture.
  • Keep our Core Values at the center of how teams lead, work together, and make decisions.
  • Maintain consistent operations while improving efficiency and quality.
  • Support key client relationships and help deliver an exceptional customer experience.
  • Partner with the other Director of Regional Operations and Leadership Team to strengthen the Residential Division.
  • Develop future leaders and create growth opportunities within your teams.
  • Improve the systems and processes that keep the organization moving forward.

What We’re Looking For

For this role, we value proven leadership over industry experience. The technical side of our business can be learned, but the ability to lead people effectively is essential.

The ideal candidate:

  • Someone who resonates with our Core Values.
  • Enjoys leading and developing people.
  • Looks for ways to solve problems and improve processes.
  • Uses good judgment and common sense.
  • Communicates clearly and consistently.
  • Remains calm under pressure.
  • Takes ownership and follows through.
  • Is willing to step in and help when needed.
  • Leads with humble confidence, accountability, and integrity.
  • Genuinely wants to see others succeed.
  • Is committed to learning and continued growth.

Previous leadership experience is required. Experience in construction, residential services, or operations is a plus, but we’re more interested in finding the right leader than someone who already knows our industry.

What Success Looks Like

Your first year will focus on learning the business and building trust with your team. You’ll train alongside team members in each role throughout our residential process, giving you a clear understanding of how the work gets done.

From there, you’ll build on the strong teams and processes already in place by developing your Team Managers, strengthening your region, identifying improvements, and becoming a trusted leader within the Residential Division.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary
  • Health, vision, and dental insurance
  • 401(k) with matching
  • Paid time off

  • Office-based position
  • Minimal travel
  • Professional development
  • The opportunity to help shape the future of our Residential Division

A Note From Our VP of Residential Operations

“We’re looking for leaders who genuinely enjoy developing people and making organizations better. Technical knowledge can be taught. Character, ownership, and the ability to build strong teams are much harder to find. If you’re the type of leader who leaves every team stronger than you found it, I’d encourage you to apply.”

Benefits:

  • 401(k)
  • 401(k) matching
  • Dental insurance
  • Health insurance
