Build and Lead a New Commercial Painting Division

Hoppe Brothers & Sons Painting is seeking an experienced commercial painting leader to build, launch, and grow our commercial division throughout Southern California.

This is not a traditional project manager position within an established department.

This person will help create the commercial operating model, develop new client relationships, establish estimating and project-delivery processes, and build the team required for responsible long-term growth.

The right candidate will receive the support of an established office, administrative team, ownership group, and experienced field workforce while having the autonomy to shape the commercial division.

This opportunity is best suited for an entrepreneurial commercial painting professional who has experience in the field, estimating, project leadership, business development, and team building—and is ready to create something within a stable, respected company.

About Hoppe Brothers & Sons Painting

Hoppe Brothers & Sons Painting is a third-generation, family-owned painting contractor with more than 50 years of experience.

Our core business was built around high-end residential painting, specialty coatings, custom finishes, maintenance work, and large-scale custom home projects.

We employ approximately 50 field professionals and have earned long-term client relationships through craftsmanship, integrity, technical knowledge, and consistent service.

As the company transitions into its next generation of ownership, we are making a deliberate investment in commercial painting.

We are not looking to chase every available project or grow without discipline.

We are looking for the right leader to build a profitable division with strong systems, reliable crews, and lasting client relationships.
