Director of Operations

About the role

This isn't a coordination role. It's a leadership seat for someone who wants to bring estimating, project management, and field execution together as one operating system.

Responsibilities

• The estimate-to-execution handoff — and the margin that depends on it
• A weekly L10 rhythm, a living scorecard, and a culture where issues actually get resolved
• A field team held to clear, consistent standards — so everyone wins
• The growth and development of the next generation of field and estimating leaders
• Scope, schedule, and margin — protected across every project

Requirements

• Spent 10+ years in a self-perform trade — coatings, mechanical, electrical, or similar
• Treated labor productivity as a primary margin lever, not just a line on a report
• Enforced operating systems, SOPs, and scorecards
• Successfully navigated change orders, back charges, and schedule disputes with GCs
• Hired and developed strong people, and run a structured operating cadence (EOS / L10 experience is a real plus)
