Peak Industrial Coatings
Louisville, KY Full Time
POSTED ON 11/23/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 3/22/2026

Director of Operations – Industrial Coatings & Blasting

General Superintendent - Operations Manager

About Us

Peak Industrial Coatings is a fast-growing, owner-led company in the industrial coatings and surface preparation industry. We work with refineries, plants, and infrastructure clients who count on us to protect their assets and extend equipment life through sandblasting, scaffolding, and high-performance coatings.

We’re not a giant corporation—we’re a tight, driven team where the right person can make a big impact. We’re looking for a Director of Operations who doesn’t just run jobs—they build systems, lead people, and scale operations. If you love taking something good and making it great, this is your kind of role.

What You’ll Do

  • Own day-to-day field operations across multiple job sites, ensuring work is delivered safely, efficiently, and profitably.
  • Build and strengthen operational systems for sandblasting, concrete preparation, and coating projects.
  • Lead and mentor foremen, superintendents, and crews—creating clarity, accountability, and growth.
  • Develop practical scheduling, logistics, and resource plans that balance speed, safety, and cost control.
  • Partner with the owner and estimating team to plan, price, and execute projects with precision.
  • Instill a strong safety and quality culture that keeps us ahead of industry standards.
  • Help shape the company’s growth strategy, operational structure, and leadership team as we scale.

What We’re Looking For

  • 7–15 years of operational leadership experience in industrial coatings, marine, construction, or oil & gas.
  • Hands-on knowledge of abrasive blasting, industrial painting, and scaffolding operations.
  • Track record of leading crews, coordinating multiple sites, and delivering on time and budget.
  • Comfortable rolling up your sleeves one day and thinking strategically the next.
  • Strong grasp of coatings specs, safety protocols, and field logistics.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset — you see problems early, solve them fast, and build processes that last.
  • NACE/AMPP or SSPC certifications a plus (but strong real-world experience goes a long way too).

Why This Role Is Different

  • Real influence: You’ll help build and shape how the company operates for years to come.
  • Leadership track: Be part of a growing leadership team with clear paths to equity or executive roles for the right person.
  • Lean team = visible impact: Your work won’t get lost in layers of management.
  • Owner-led culture: We move fast, keep things simple, and take pride in our work.
  • Competitive base performance incentives that reward results.
