President — Rise48 Pro Services LLC
Commercial Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing (MEP) Services
Pay: $250,000 – $350,000 base salary to start, with total Year 1 compensation of $500,000 – $1,000,000 including performance bonuses. Base salary increases to $450,000 – $500,000 once revenue milestones are achieved — plus equity ownership with milestone-based vesting.
Location: Based in Phoenix, Arizona (on-site) — with regular travel to Dallas and Fort Worth, TX, and Charlotte, Greensboro, and Raleigh, NC.
About the Opportunity
We are launching Rise48 Pro Services LLC — a new commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) services company built for rapid, multi-market growth. The business is focused primarily on serving commercial buildings — office, retail, industrial, data centers, and other large commercial facilities — and on winning large commercial projects with large commercial clients. Where residential work makes sense, our focus is large multifamily communities, not single-family homes.
From day one, Rise48 Pro Services will begin operating in six high-growth Sun Belt markets — Phoenix, AZ; Dallas, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Charlotte, NC; Greensboro, NC; and Raleigh, NC — with a clear mission: to scale to over $100 million in annual revenue within five years or less, and to position the company for a sale to a private equity firm.
The company launches with a powerful built-in advantage. The Rise48 Equity portfolio — more than 11,000 residential and commercial units owned and managed across these markets — serves as the launch pad that makes the business profitable from the start. That captive base is the initial foundation of revenue; the President's mandate is to build well beyond it by aggressively growing third-party commercial MEP business — targeting large commercial buildings and large-project clients in each market.
This is an entrepreneurial, equity-owner role. The President will participate in equity ownership from day one, with the ability to earn 10% to 20% equity in the company as defined growth milestones are achieved — paid out upon a sale, based on the company's exit value. We are looking for a growth-oriented builder: ideally someone who has taken a company from ground zero, scaled it, and sold to private equity. That experience is not required, but the person we want has a proven ability to grow and scale a business, and brings existing Phoenix relationships and connections that translate directly into large commercial projects.

Role Summary
The President is the primary executive leader responsible for standing up and scaling Rise48 Pro Services LLC across all six launch markets, with a primary focus on commercial MEP work for large commercial buildings and clients. This individual will own the company's growth agenda — driving third-party business development, operational excellence, and market expansion — while building the systems, teams, and culture required to grow from launch to a $100M+, private-equity-ready enterprise. The President will partner closely with ownership and the Board to set strategy and hit the milestones that unlock both company value and personal equity.
