Sequence has been exclusively retained and is currently seeking a high-caliber General Manager to lead the flagship Seattle regional operation for a fast-growing, values-driven fire protection platform serving commercial clients with multiple operations across the Pacific Northwest.

This is a unique opportunity to step into a true leadership seat — overseeing construction and service operations for a well-established and rapidly expanding business with a clear long-term vision and strong backing.

Reporting directly to the President & CEO, the General Manager will lead a multi-division operation spanning fire sprinkler, alarm, and special hazards/suppression, while driving profitability, accountability, operational discipline, and culture as the company scales through both organic growth and acquisition.

The Opportunity

This role is best suited for a leader who thrives in the field-facing realities of construction / install and design operations, while also maintaining the financial and leadership discipline required to run a sophisticated, project-driven business.

You’ll be fully embedded in the Seattle office and responsible across job sites — earning trust with both the office and field teams, strengthening internal alignment, and building the systems and leadership rhythm needed for long-term performance.

Key Focus Areas

You will own the branch across:

• Operational leadership across construction + service divisions
• Team culture + performance, mentoring managers and strengthening accountability
• Financial outcomes, including job-cost discipline, forecasting, rebudgeting, billing accuracy, and margin protection
• Project execution rigor, including project reviews, kickoff cadence, post-mortems, and site engagement expectations
• Business development support, including bid review, estimating discipline, and sales team accountability
• Systems & scalability, improving workflows and continuing optimization within Acumatica (ERP) and related tools

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking a seasoned operational leader with deep fire sprinkler construction knowledge and the credibility to lead from the front.

The right individual will have:

• 10+ years progressive leadership in construction operations, project management, or branch leadership
• Strong preference for leaders with hands-on exposure across multiple areas: field + design + estimating + purchasing + sales + leadership
• A proven history of building teams, stabilizing performance, and driving an accountable and respectful culture
• Strong financial and project controls understanding (job-cost, forecasting, billing discipline, margin management)
• Fire sprinkler / alarm / suppression expertise is required (candidates without relevant industry experience will not be considered)

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking a proven operational leader with deep fire protection experience – someone who can run the business, lead a team, and protect margin through process discipline.

You will take full responsibility for branch performance across the organization’s core departments and operations. You’ll drive operational cadence, strengthen systems, mentor managers, and partner directly with executive leadership to build a stronger, scalable platform with double revenues projected in four years.

Culture, Leadership, and the “Why”

The organization possesses a deeply held set of values. Respect, integrity, accountability, and collaboration are more than aspirations — they are embedded in how the team leads, communicates, and makes decisions. This is a company that takes pride in doing things the right way: supporting employees, honoring customer commitments, and building long-term client relationships. Leadership encourages a team-first culture where people are trusted, developed, and supported. And where expectations are clear and consistent.

At its core, this is a business led with deep respect for the designers, installers, technicians, project managers, and field teams who deliver this work every day. As the organization grows, this role requires a leader who can protect what makes the culture strong – while also strengthening operational discipline, improving internal alignment, and driving results through structure and consistency. This is a leadership seat where character matters. Success requires a leader who builds trust intentionally, holds people accountable respectfully, and creates a workplace where pride, professionalism, and mutual respect are the operating standard.

This in mind, we are seeking a seasoned, results-oriented leader with a passion for people, performance, and craftsmanship. The right individual will bring the operational strength to run the business, the financial discipline to manage risk and margin, and the leadership maturity to elevate a multi-division team. This role is not about sitting behind a desk — it requires visible leadership, presence in the operation, and credibility across both office and field.

The ideal candidate would have 10+ years of leadership experience in landscape services or a related field, including full P&L ownership at or above $10 to 15M, be calm under pressure, clear in communication, and consistent in decision-making. Capable of leading teams through growth while maintaining stability, performance, and culture. Prior exposure across multiple disciplines within fire protection (sprinkler construction, design, estimating, special hazards, alarm, inspections/testing, deficiency work, etc.) is strongly preferred.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-capitalized organization with a loyal commercial client base and a strong platform for expansion across West Coast markets. The position could be ideal for a senior leader ready to take full ownership of a high-performing branch or a talented rising operational leader prepared to step into full GM responsibility with the support of an experienced executive team.

Compensation and benefits are highly competitive and include a foundational base salary plus a performance-based bonus opportunity (typically up to 30% to 40%). The role also includes a company vehicle (or vehicle allowance) with a fuel card, along with PTO and paid holidays. A full benefits package is provided, including health coverage (100% premium paid), along with dental, vision, and life insurance. The organization also offers 401k with match and strongly supports ongoing professional growth through NICET certification support, leadership development, and continuing education.

Relocation would also be available for the right individual into the region.
