What are the responsibilities and job description for the Construction Chief Operating Officer position at Daksta | Connecting Mission Critical Talent?

Construction Chief Operating Officer:

Daksta is currently exclusively partnered with a leading top 200 ENR ranked commercial GC, headquartered in Maryland, with revenues at $750M.

  • Develop and implement operational systems and processes to drive efficiency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop senior operational leaders to strengthen company culture and succession planning.
  • Maintain strong client, partner, and stakeholder relationships to support long-term business success.
  • Report directly into the President, with a long-term play of growing alongside the company.


Requirements:

  • Minimum 5 years spent at an ENR Top 100 GC.
  • Experience in data center construction.
  • Strong business acumen - able to cite BD wins.
  • Experience leading individual projects $200M .
  • Prior experience in the D.C. metro area preferred.
  • Strong job tenure.


Compensation and Benefits:

  • Base salary of $250,000 with an target bonus of $200,000-$250,000 depending on performance.
  • Health, dental, vision.
  • 401k match.
  • Strong continuous work and employment.
  • Salary reviews.
