Field Operations Manager

LB Contract Supply — Madison, WI Full-Time | Salaried | Field-Based | Travel Required $72,000–$92,000

LB Contract Supply is hiring a

Field Operations Manager

to lead field execution across multiple commercial projects and installation crews. This is not a desk job and it is not simply an installer position with a management title. The right person will lead crews, organize field work, verify jobsite readiness, solve problems, train installers, communicate with project teams, document field conditions, and make sure scheduled work gets completed efficiently and correctly. You must also be willing to work alongside the crew when needed. Your primary responsibility is field performance — not how many products you personally install.

What You’ll Own Direct and coordinate installation crews. Assign and organize daily field work. Confirm crews understand scope, priorities, and expected production. Verify materials, tools, equipment, access, and site readiness. Monitor productivity and adjust manpower when needed. Train installers and enforce quality standards. Work alongside crews when additional production or technical support is needed. Document site conditions that prevent scheduled work. Communicate professionally with superintendents, project managers, customers, and other trades. Verify completed work before crews leave the site. Help manage punch, warranty, and service work. Reduce wasted labor and unnecessary remobilizations. Maintain accountability for vehicles, tools, equipment, and materials. Provide meaningful input on hiring, training, discipline, and advancement of field personnel. Our Project Environment LB may have dozens of active projects moving at the same time. Crews may install one phase, leave while other trades complete their work, and return weeks later. You must be comfortable managing multiple projects, changing schedules, recurring mobilizations, crew capacity, incomplete buildings, punch work, and shifting field priorities. The office should never have to call multiple installers to figure out what happened onsite. You should be able to answer: What were we supposed to accomplish? What did we complete? What prevented the remaining work? What happens next?

Who We’re Looking For Relevant backgrounds may include General Foreman, Field Superintendent, Installation Manager, Lead Installer, Commercial Construction Foreman, Glazing Foreman, Finish Carpentry Foreman, Millwork Foreman, Flooring Foreman, or another specialty subcontracting trade. Direct window-covering experience is helpful but

not required

. We can teach blinds, shades, mirrors, and our installation standards. We need someone who already knows how to: lead people, organize work, solve field problems, communicate professionally, and hold a crew accountable for results.

You must be comfortable using a smartphone or tablet for schedules, photos, field reporting, project information, and communication. This Role Is Not a Fit If You avoid holding people accountable; wait for others to solve field problems; dislike documenting your work; want a management role that keeps you out of the field; are uncomfortable with technology; or need every decision approved before moving forward. The Standard We do not need another person who reports field problems. We need someone

responsible for field performance

. Sometimes that means directing the crew. Sometimes it means training. Sometimes it means documenting a site condition. And sometimes it means picking up the tools and helping finish the job.
