We are not slowing down — we are scaling up. To do that, we need a General Manager who is ready to own this business and run it. This is not a senior foreman role or a right-hand-to-the-owner position. This is a true GM seat — full authority over daily operations, the team, production, customer experience, and financial results. The owners are ready to step back. We need someone ready to step in.
