APOGEE COMPONENTS

GENERAL MANAGER / INTEGRATOR

Are you a leader who thrives on high expectations and the chance to make a real impact? Do you thrive when you’re in charge, rallying the team, running the day-to-day, and building systems that bring consistency and clarity? Are you looking for a role where you can take ownership now, prove yourself, and grow into something more?

If you're energized by the idea of strengthening a business from the inside out, and you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and lead, then we want to talk to you!

Our ideal General Manager is:

• A growth-focused operator: You bring structure and accountability, spot issues early, and build systems that support sustainable growth
• A strong communicator: You translate big ideas into actionable priorities and make sure your team is aligned and informed
• Empathetic and approachable: You lead with accountability and care, creating a culture where people are supported and expectations are clear
• Strategic and ready for more: You already think beyond today—you’ve managed teams, hit goals, and made things better. Now you’re ready to take on more and help run the business

In this role, you’ll be able to make an immediate impact - people, process, scheduling, and day-to-day operations - while building a stronger foundation for the team. As the team grows, and the company grows, there is real opportunity to grow into a key leadership role - shaping how the business scales and operates over time.

RESPONSIBILITIES

As our General Manager, you’ll be involved in all areas of the business—leading a small team, managing finances smartly, and driving growth opportunities across departments:
