Operations Manager - Electrical Testing Group
Wunderlich-Malec Engineering (WM) is a 100% employee-owned ESOP and one of the largest and most well-established engineering companies in the United States. When you join WM you become part of a company that is:
- 100% employee-owned with 40+ years of industry history
- Rated as a top System Integrator Giant
Wunderlich-Malec’s Electrical Testing Group (ETG) is expanding — and we’re seeking an entrepreneurial Operations Manager to lead our newest regional location from the ground up. This position combines operational leadership with entrepreneurial drive — serving as both Integrator and Builder of a new ETG Business Unit. You’ll take ownership of day-to-day execution, lead a growing technical team, manage P&L objectives, and work side-by-side with ETG leadership to bring our proven business model to a new region. This is a rare opportunity to see a business evolve from Infancy → Growth → Maturity — with your leadership at the center of that transformation.
Key Responsibilities
- Faithfully execute the ETG business plan — achieving or exceeding P&L, revenue, and performance goals
- Lead all regional operations including scheduling, resource planning, quality assurance, safety, and project delivery
- Implement and maintain ETG’s operating systems, testing standards, and documentation processes
- Manage field operations for protective relaying, SCADA, and IEC 61850 systems commissioning
- Ensure alignment between technical execution and business objectives — balancing efficiency, quality, and profitability
Integration & Team Alignment
- Integrate all major functions of the local ETG operation — ensuring everyone is rowing in the same direction
- Lead, manage, and hold team members accountable for results and commitments
- Build and nurture a healthy, functional, and cohesive leadership team under the EOS framework
- Resolve issues effectively: identify root causes, address conflict constructively, and drive solutions to completion
Business Unit Development
- Build the BU from the ground up — recruiting, training, and developing a skilled team of field engineers and technicians
- Establish vendor partnerships and client relationships within the region
- Drive growth through operational excellence, local market development, and client satisfaction
- Create and maintain structure and process as the BU transitions from startup to sustainable operation
- Collaborate closely with the ETG Visionary and National Leadership Team to ensure clear direction and alignment
- Translate vision into actionable, measurable goals
- Maintain a strong, respectful partnership with ETG leadership — ensuring ideas are filtered, prioritized, and implemented effectively
- Ensure that key messages and decisions are properly cascaded across the team so that everyone is informed, aligned, and focused
Systems, Structure, and Process
- Operate within ETG’s EOS framework: own the scorecard, lead local L10s, and manage to defined KPIs
- Ensure consistency in how core processes are followed, documented, and improved
- Demonstrate strong project management discipline and operational consistency
- Uphold ETG’s values of safety, integrity, quality, and innovation in every aspect of operations
What Success Looks Like First 6–12 Months
- Establish the foundation: hire key staff, build client relationships, deliver first projects successfully, and drive the BU toward break-even
12–24 Months
- Transition into the Growth Phase: solid team structure, sustainable backlog, and strong client confidence
- Local L10s running consistently, scorecard metrics trending upward, and P&L tracking toward profitability by month 12
Beyond 24 Months
- The BU is Mature: operating as a profitable, independently functioning unit within the national ETG network, recognized for its technical quality and reliability
Qualifications
- 7+ years in power systems testing, commissioning, or utility operations
- Proven leadership experience managing people, budgets, and project delivery
- Strong understanding of protective relaying, automation, and SCADA systems
- Entrepreneurial mindset — thrives in building structure from scratch
- Excellent communication, organization, and conflict-resolution skills
- Experience with EOS or similar operating systems preferred
- Willingness to travel regionally and work in a dynamic field environment
Why This Role is Exciting
You’ll lead one of the most exciting phases of ETG’s national expansion — bringing our brand of technical excellence and culture of accountability to a new region. You’ll have the chance to build a business with your own imprint while being part of a nationwide team of leaders doing the same.
This role offers the energy of a startup with the stability and support of a 40-year engineering powerhouse — and the satisfaction of watching a blank slate become a thriving, mature operation under your leadership.
