Executive Summary   

Apex Service Partners, a leading national company in the high growth residential home services industry, is seeking P&L Leader Interns who are passionate about helping to build a world-class organization with an interest in learning day-to-day operations of a residential home services business. The ideal candidate should be prepared to be embedded in a dynamic, cross-disciplined team environment within one of our brand locations. Through this leadership experience, the candidate will receive a broad, well-rounded education in the areas of all aspects of leading a successful business, including organic revenue growth, P&L management, performance metric management, and culture-building.  

Apex Overview   

Apex Service Partners was founded through the acquisition of multiple leading home services businesses providing HVAC, plumbing and electrical services. This very fragmented industry is dominated by small and founder-owned businesses; these entrepreneurs, in many cases, have spent decades building companies that are respected essential services in their communities. Our strategy is to execute significant organic growth initiatives and high-frequency M&A.   

This entrepreneurial roll-up strategy necessitates visionary, people-focused, high potential, motivated business leaders to bring best-in-class business practices.  

Position Overview  

• At least 10-12 weeks in duration – depending on circumstances, the right candidate may continue in our program if invited, and available, after 12 weeks.  This specific role will report to our Mauzy brand in San Diego. 

• Apex can customize its P&L Leader Internship experience to a candidate’s situation, and will have a cohort of several from June 2025 – August 2025 (flexible based on academic calendar) 

• Full time (40 hours per week) 

This leadership role is suited for a strong competitor who excels in a fast-paced environment, often unstructured environment, driven by seizing opportunities in an industry that many overlook; our leaders are career contrarians with strong character and vision. The ideal candidate will be able to consider strategic, financial, and operational capabilities with a high level of emotional intelligence to help create a healthy, growing organization.   

Candidate Requirements  

• Current MBA student (first- or second-year) 
• Desire to pursue General Management and executive track P&L ownership  
• High level of EQ; personable and adaptable 
• Ability and desire to work with blue-collar employees 
• Strong communication and organizational skills  
• Ability to apply critical thinking, risk analysis and develop solutions  
• A leader of character  
• A leader who inspires “followership” amongst the men and women they serve (manage)  
• Naturally comfortable in unstructured environments; “thinks on the fly” and “solves problems in real time” (we are an underdeveloped, underserved industry…and we’re impacting it quickly!) 

(Things Not Normally in a Job Overview…but that Make a Difference to Ideal Candidates)   

At Apex, our values define how we act…and truly believe them.  

• Embrace a Growth Mindset. As a business and as individuals, we constantly learn, stretch, challenge, and grow. We have limitless potential as people - and as an organization.  

• Stay Scrappy, Have Fun. “You are not your job title.”  We are hands-on people in a hands-on industry. We do what we need to, and have the work hard, have fun mentality.   

• Improve through Collaboration. Whether working across functions, with clients, or our business partners, we get better with other points of view. We welcome ideas; we ask, “how else” & “why not?”   

• Be Fact Based & Metric Driven. We tackle problems (not people) and we do so in a data-focused way. Balanced with our other values, this makes for more accurate decisions which are still based in character.
