About the Role

The Company is seeking a senior operations executive to strengthen and scale a commercial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing contracting platform. The role will work alongside leaders across multiple business units to identify operational challenges, recommend practical improvements, and establish consistent processes. Key responsibilities include building workforce planning systems that align bookings and backlog with technician capacity, improving estimating and project management standards, and reviewing work in progress and job margins. The executive will also develop operational KPIs and routines, support margin improvement, coach project managers and estimators, and create a repeatable approach to integrating acquired businesses. Candidates should have senior-level operations experience within a commercial MEP contractor or construction firm, ideally leading multiple business units or sites. They need strong working knowledge of HVAC and plumbing operations, with experience in estimating, work-in-progress reviews, forecasting, and margin management. A background progressing through the trades, field supervision, project management, or operations leadership is important, along with a demonstrated record of growing or improving a business and earning the trust of local teams. Experience with acquisitions, platform operations, private equity-backed businesses, or commercial service work is advantageous.
