Branch Manager (Construction)

The Role

After a successful inaugural year in the Nashville market, we are looking for a strategic and high-energy Branch Manager to take our Middle Tennessee presence at Bax Homeworks to the next level. This is a "Player-Coach" role designed for an industry veteran who can expertly balance the art of the deal with the science of construction management.

Core Responsibilities

• Growth & Revenue Generation
• Strategic Growth: Transition the branch from "new entry" to "market leader" by executing a data-driven sales plan.
• High-Value Networking: Leverage existing Nashville industry connections to secure high-end residential and commercial remodeling contracts.
• Pipeline Management: Lead the conversion of inquiries into contracts, overseeing the bidding process to ensure competitive yet profitable pricing.
• Brand Presence: Represent the company at local trade shows, Chamber events, and networking groups to keep the brand top-of-mind.
• Operational Excellence
• Project Oversight: Manage the full lifecycle of multiple remodeling projects, ensuring they meet the "Nashville standard" of quality, timeline, and budget.
• Subcontractor Management: Continue to vet, hire, and manage a reliable local labor force. You must know how to hold crews accountable without micromanaging the craft.
• Resource Allocation: Optimize the scheduling of equipment, materials, and personnel to eliminate downtime and maximize branch profitability.
• P&L Accountability: Review monthly financial performance for the Nashville territory, identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring healthy margins.
• Leadership & Strategy
• Tactical Problem Solving: Be the first point of escalation for complex site issues, providing "in the weeds" technical guidance when—and only when—necessary.
• Client Satisfaction: Act as the ultimate bridge between the client's vision and the final build, ensuring a seamless communication loop.
• Safety & Compliance: Ensure all projects remain strictly compliant with Tennessee building codes and OSHA safety standards.

Job Requirements

• Regional Expertise: Minimum 7+ years in construction management with a deep, existing network in the Middle Tennessee/Nashville market. You must know the local subcontractor landscape and regional building codes by heart.
• Dual-Threat Leadership: Proven success managing both Sales (Revenue Growth) and Operations (Project Execution). You have a track record of hunting new business while simultaneously overseeing high-quality remodeling projects.
• Strategic "Player-Coach" Mindset: An entrepreneurial approach to scaling a year-old territory. You are willing to "get in the weeds" to solve a technical crisis but possess the leadership maturity to empower crews without micromanaging.
• Financial & Analytical Acumen: High proficiency in P&L management, job costing, and budget forecasting. You treat the branch’s profitability with the same rigor as an owner.
• Superior Communication: Exceptional ability to negotiate with tough subcontractors, present sophisticated proposals to high-end clients, and report clearly to executive leadership.
• Tech Literacy: Advanced experience using construction management platforms (e.g., Buildertrend, Procore) and CRMs to track both project milestones and the sales pipeline.
