  • Project execution, schedule performance, and profitability
  • Development and accountability of Project Managers and Superintendents
  • Safety, operational discipline, and continuous improvement

We are looking for someone who:

  • 10 years in a senior operations or project leadership role
  • Has 15 years in mechanical contracting or construction operations
  • Has led large non-union field organizations
  • Bachelors Degree preferred, equivalent hands-on experience may substitute
  • Knows how to drive margin, productivity, and accountability
  • Commands respect in the field and in the boardroom
  • Is ready to make an immediate, visible impact

If you have built high-performing teams, turned around underperforming operations, or consistently delivered strong project results, we want to speak with you.
