Vice President

Position Description

Overview:

FHG Inc. is a full-service construction firm serving the energy industry. We bring deep expertise in general contracting and design-build services, with a long track record of delivering quality and value to our customers. FHG stands for “For His Glory,” and we seek to glorify the Lord in every aspect of our work. We currently have more than 140 employees, with approximately 35 based out of our Charlotte, NC headquarters.

FHG is seeking a Vice President to join our three-person Senior Leadership Team. Reporting to the President, this role integrates and leads our Support Team — the support functions that make our construction and project management operations possible — including HR, Health & Safety, Accounting, IT, and Facilities/Fleet Management. This role is accountable for keeping those functions strong as we scale.

As a visible member of the FHG team, the ideal candidate will embody our core values of Integrity, Servant Mindset, Excellence, and Safety, and support our mission:

Serving The Energy Industry. Building The Team. For His Glory.

The VP is a strategic partner to the COO and is the one who makes sure our Support Team delivers what our operational teams need to be successful. This role will suit someone who enjoys building systems, getting ahead of small problems before they become bigger issues, and leading a team of functional managers.

The following description outlines the general nature and essential responsibilities of the role. It is not a comprehensive inventory of all duties, responsibilities, and qualifications required.

• Lead a team of five functional managers across Human Resources (including in-house payroll), Health & Safety, Accounting, Information Technology, and Facilities/Fleet Management.
• Coach and develop a team of functional leaders who are capable of owning results, solving problems, and leading independently.
• Partner closely with the COO as a trusted advisor on issues facing Operations.
• Foster strong alignment between Operations and Support functions, ensuring decisions are made with a company-wide perspective rather than a departmental one.
• Coordinate efforts between Support functions, as efforts in one team often impact or need assistance from another.
• Ensure that problems are owned and resolved at the appropriate level of the organization rather than unnecessarily escalated.
• Build and refine processes and systems that scale with a growing construction company.
• Anticipate what Operations will need and position the Support Team to proactively address those needs.
• Contribute to company strategy as a member of the Senior Leadership Team.

Position Requirements

Required Skills and Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Human Resources, Finance, Accounting, Management, or a related field; equivalent leadership experience may be considered in lieu of formal education.
• Demonstrated experience leading multiple business functions simultaneously.
• Strong process orientation — experience with building or redesigning workflows and the ability to drive cross-functional change.
• Enough functional fluency across HR, finance, operations, and IT to lead managers in each area and know when something is off.
• At least 5 years of experience coaching and developing leaders.
• Experience leading organizations through significant growth, change, or operational scaling.Confidence without arrogance, a willingness to seek input before reaching conclusions, and the honesty to acknowledge the limits of one’s own expertise.
• A genuine appreciation for the challenges faced by our team in the field, and the credibility and judgment to be trusted as an advisor across the organization — not just to lead the Support Team, but to help the whole company work better.
• Preferred: Depth in Human Resources — HR is the most valued background for this role.
• Preferred: Experience in construction, energy, industrial services, manufacturing, logistics, or another field-driven business.
• Preferred: Experience supporting a geographically dispersed workforce.
