Overview

An established concrete contractor with a multi state presence is seeking a Director of Construction to oversee operations, drive project excellence, and support continued growth across Northern California. The organization is known for executing complex structural concrete packages, operating with a strong internal infrastructure, and maintaining long‑term relationships with top general contractors. They are financially strong, have a deep bench of field leadership, and consistently deliver on large commercial, data center, parking structure, healthcare, and institutional projects.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out
  • Company has a proven track record with some of the largest commercial builders in the region
  • Strong backlog and consistent pipeline of high‑value structural concrete work
  • In‑house engineering, safety, and preconstruction teams that support efficient execution
  • Large workforce, strong retention, and highly respected in the concrete industry
  • Known for technical capabilities on complex concrete structures including multi‑story builds and fast‑tracked schedules
  • The role has a clear path toward executive leadership for the right performer
Position Summary

The Director of Construction will oversee all project and field execution throughout Northern California. This leader will be responsible for operational performance, team leadership, client satisfaction, and driving revenue growth through improved delivery, repeat business, and strategic collaboration with the preconstruction team. This position requires a strong background in structural concrete, the ability to manage teams on multiple large projects, and a data‑driven approach to operations.

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead and mentor project managers, superintendents, and field teams
  • Oversee execution of structural concrete projects ranging from mid‑rise to large commercial and institutional builds
  • Ensure schedule performance, quality control, safety, and profitability across active projects
  • Partner with estimating and preconstruction to support budget development, constructability, and project strategy
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with general contractors and owners
  • Drive operational efficiencies and standardization across teams
  • Support business development by influencing client retention and helping secure new opportunities
  • Track project financials, forecast margins, and identify areas for optimization
  • Contribute to long‑term strategic planning with senior leadership
Qualifications
  • 10 or more years of experience in concrete construction or with a concrete self‑performing GC, with at least 5 in a senior leadership role
  • Proven background managing large commercial or structural concrete projects
  • History of leading and scaling project teams
  • Strong financial acumen including forecasting, margins, cost control, and operational KPIs
  • Ability to influence revenue through performance, repeat business, and strategic client relationships
  • Strong communication skills and a leadership style that builds trust and accountability
