We are seeking a hands-on, business-minded construction professional who understands both field operations and the financial side of running a successful contractor. This individual will work directly with ownership, lead multiple projects, oversee daily operations, develop client relationships, and help guide the company’s continued growth.
This is more than a job - it is an opportunity to build a long-term career with a potential path to ownership.
What You’ll Do
Operations & Leadership
• Oversee daily construction operations across multiple active projects.
• Coordinate manpower, equipment, subcontractors, schedules, and resources.
• Lead and mentor project managers, superintendents, foremen, and field personnel.
• Maintain high standards for safety, quality, productivity, and accountability.
• Step into an increased leadership role when ownership is unavailable.
Project Management & Financial Performance
• Oversee projects from preconstruction through final completion.
• Monitor project schedules, budgets, costs, productivity, and profitability.
• Review contracts, scopes of work, change orders, and project documentation.
• Assist with estimating, bidding, forecasting, and cost control.
• Identify risks early and implement practical solutions to keep projects moving.
Subcontractor & Client Relationships
• Identify, negotiate with, and manage subcontractors and vendors.
• Build strong relationships with clients, engineers, suppliers, and industry partners.
• Resolve project challenges while protecting the company’s reputation and financial interests.
• Participate in project meetings, site visits, and business development efforts.
Business Growth & Future Ownership
• Work directly with company ownership to learn all aspects of the business.
• Help develop operational systems, employee leadership, and customer relationships.
• Contribute to strategic decisions and continued company growth.
• Prepare to assume increasing responsibility for the company’s operations and business management, with the potential for future ownership.
What We’re Looking For
• 10+ years of progressively responsible construction experience.
• Background in marine construction, foundation construction, heavy civil, commercial construction, or specialty contracting.
• Proven experience managing projects and leading field personnel.
• Strong understanding of construction means and methods, scheduling, sequencing, and productivity.
• Experience with estimating, project budgets, cost control, and financial performance.
• Ability to read and interpret plans, specifications, contracts, and scopes of work.
• Experience managing subcontractors, vendors, clients, and project stakeholders.
• Strong leadership, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
• A hands-on management style and the ability to earn the respect of field and office teams.
• Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel to project sites as needed.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
• Potential path to ownership: An opportunity to work toward leading and potentially owning the company as the current owners transition toward retirement.
• Direct access to ownership: Work closely with company leadership and have a meaningful voice in business decisions.
• Significant responsibility: Help oversee operations, projects, people, equipment, and financial performance.
• Long-term career growth: Build a future with an established contractor that values technical expertise, quality workmanship, and customer relationships.
- Competitive compensation: Pay commensurate with experience, leadership ability, and business impact.
Considering: General Superintendent, Director of Operations, Senior Project Manager, Project Executive, or General Manager who is ready for the next chapter of your career.
