About the Role

IES is seeking a Senior Vice President of Enterprise Technology to lead the company through a critical phase of technology transformation. This is a hands-on leadership role focused on driving the successful implementation of a new ERP platform (Microsoft Dynamics 365) and a new HRIS platform (ADP Lyric) across IES's corporate and divisional operations, while building on the company's existing IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and enterprise software capabilities.

Responsibilities

• Oversee the end-to-end implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 across IES's corporate functions and business units, including finance, supply chain, project management, and field operations.
• Oversee the concurrent ADP Lyric HRIS implementation, ensuring integration with payroll, benefits administration, and workforce planning systems.
• Develop and execute an implementation roadmap, managing scope, timeline, budget, and change management across multiple stakeholders.
• Coordinate with divisional leadership and BU presidents to drive adoption and minimize disruption to operations.
• Architect and oversee system integration between Dynamics 365, ADP Lyric, and existing divisional applications to ensure data integrity and operational continuity.
• Manage relationships with implementation partners, system integrators, and software vendors, including contract oversight and delivery accountability.
• Provide executive oversight for systems reliability, scalability, and security across corporate headquarters and distributed BU locations.
• Own and manage the enterprise technology budget, ensuring disciplined allocation of resources across operations, transformation initiatives, and infrastructure investments.
• Define the enterprise reporting and business intelligence strategy, ensuring leadership has timely access to operational and financial data across business units.
• Provide executive support to the internal programming team that builds and maintains the custom tools supporting IES's operations.
• Evaluate opportunities to leverage AI and automation tools to improve operational efficiency across the enterprise.
• Lead and support the established and experienced technology team, providing strategic direction and executive support to existing VP-level direct reports.
• Represent the technology organization at the executive leadership table and in board-level discussions, ensuring the work, priorities, and resource needs of IES's technology teams are visible at the most senior levels of the company.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, Business Administration, or a related field.

• Experience in multi-site, multi-business-unit, or decentralized operating environments.
• Familiarity with construction industry workflows including project-based accounting, job costing, and field operations technology.
• Ability to work on-site at IES's Houston, TX headquarters full-time.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience providing executive oversight of an enterprise security program at similar scale.
• Experience in the engineering & construction, electrical services, or building infrastructure sectors.
• Experience with HRIS implementations (ADP Lyric or ADP Workforce Now strongly preferred; Workday, UKG, or similar platforms also considered).
• Knowledge of AI/ML tools and their practical application in enterprise operations.
• Track record of managing technology through a period of rapid company growth or M&A integration.
• PMP, ITIL, or Microsoft Dynamics certifications.
