Construction CEO - "Growth Focused" - Retained Search (Charleston)

$40 per hour

Full-time

New Talent

DEAL BREAKER: Experience only from Construction, Skilled Trades, & Home Services.

Base Wage & Bonus worth about $400-700K+. Will vary based on experience, but additionally, there will be Profit Sharing, Equity, Relocation Assistance, & anything else you need (but it all is based on your level of experience and your situation).

We are on retainer searching for a proven “growth CEO” for a well-established, growing construction business based out of the greater Charleston, SC Metro area.

PROFILE: Seeking a “Change Agent” – A CEO who has already scaled businesses and knows exactly what comes next.

This Is Not a Turnaround
The business is healthy, profitable, fully funded, and operationally sound.

This CEO seat is designed for a leader of leaders , not a day-to-day operator. You will be partnering with ownership as a true business partner

You have

Already doubled or tripled gross revenue
Scaled Gross Revenue from roughly ~$40/50M toward $100M ($150M, 200M or beyond)
Built teams that execute without you in the weeds
Led through growth, change, and talent upgrades
Operated with real P&L ownership

Energized by

Freedom to build the team and strategy your way
A compensation structure designed for hungry CEOs
Scaling and driving multi-market expansion
Leading leaders, not managing tasks

You may be coming from a larger platform and want the chance to build again —with more autonomy, more upside, and a clearer runway.

INDUSTRY

Experience in construction, skilled trades, home services, logistics, or other multi-location or project-based execution businesses is a plus.

This is a growth mandate with teeth
If you understand how to scale , you can learn what we do quickly .
