Job Description:

The installation manager must inspire followership! This person will be honest and treat both our employees and customers with dignity and respect. The installation manager is responsible for the successful installation of Morris equipment in the field. This person will help develop the installation logistics process as well as selecting the proper resources to ensure quality execution, while also ensuring profitability. The specific team of Morris employees is to be developed. The most likely solution will be a combination of full-time Morris installation employees, combined with Morris shop labor and outside contract labor. The installation manager will exercise their experience and develop the resource combination that best solves our customers needs. This work will require careful planning with various entities, to include but not limited to: customers, salespersons, field service group, operations group, project management, etc. Schedules must be carefully planned. Installation windows are often the most restrictive brackets of time we will operate in. A miscalculation of just a couple of hours can shift an entire installation for our customers. The installation manager should have a solid understanding of industrial mechanical and electrical equipment. It is very important to gather accurate data during the quotation phase and match the proper resources with the task at hand. This person should watch closely how our third-party millwrights are pricing installations. Based on several observed data-points, the installation manager will provide feedback to the internal Morris pricing teams. The installation manager should be self-motivated and thrive in a hands-off environment. We operate in industries where unplanned downtime is detrimental to the profitability of our customers. The installation manager will assist in the development of an integrated installation checklist and approve the expense reports of the installation team members, prior to submission to the accounting department.

Key Responsibilities:

• • Excellent communication skills, verbal and written. Should be easy to listen to when engaging in phone conversations or video conferences with our customers. Should not be confrontational in approach to customers or employees.

  • ERP knowledge, a plus. If no prior experience with ERP systems, the ability to learn andnavigate within an ERP system would be beneficial.
  • Entrepreneurial spirit. Willing to develop more efficient ways to develop new business.
  • Team player. Must work well with the Morris Customer Operations team members. Must work wellwith all other departments within the Morris organization. Morris is a team, not an individual.
  • Customer-focused. Must be able to sort and prioritize customer issues while maintaining a laser-focus on those items that cause our customers the most pain.
  • Leader. Must be more than a manager or a planner. Must inspire people to follow. Must be able to help people solve problems and be the voice of reason if several things happen at a given time. Must develop the team and lead the installation group to the next level.
  • Perform all other duties and tasks as assigned.
  • Must meet the requirements to possess a valid travel passport.
