Position Summary

We are seeking a hands-on HVAC Parts Store Manager to build and lead a high-performing parts operation in the New Orleans / Metairie area.

This is not a typical parts manager role. You will be responsible for building the operation, developing the team, driving sales, managing inventory and pricing, and establishing a parts department known for responsiveness, reliability, and exceptional customer service.

• Manage inventory strategy, product mix, and stock levels
• Ensure accurate inventory control and accountability
• Establish competitive pricing while maintaining strong margins
• Support contractors, technicians, and service teams with orders, technical questions, and issue resolution
• Handle escalated customer issues professionally and efficiently
• Monitor market trends and competitor activity
• Develop local strategies to grow the customer base and increase sales
• Build strong relationships with customers, vendors, and internal teams

What We're Looking For

• Builder mindset — someone who wants to create and improve, not simply maintain
• Strong customer-first mentality
• Proven leadership ability with experience building and motivating teams
• Hands-on leadership style with a willingness to perform any task expected of the team
• Strong understanding of HVAC parts and the needs of contractors, technicians, and service teams
• Ability to develop lasting customer and industry relationships
• Experience with inventory management and pricing
• Strong ownership, accountability, and decision-making skills
• Ability to operate effectively in a growing and fast-paced environment

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent HVAC industry experience
• 6–8+ years of HVAC parts, distribution, or sales experience
• 4+ years of leadership experience
• Forklift certification or ability to obtain certification preferred
• Accounts payable/receivable experience is a plus
