Deputy General Counsel

Senior Legal Leader Opportunity At IES Holdings

IES Holdings is looking for a senior legal leader to run its legal function day to day. The title will be Deputy General Counsel or General Counsel depending on the candidate's experience and fit; in either case, the role carries full operational leadership of the department and reports to the Chief Administrative Officer, who has served as IES's General Counsel for nearly seven years and will continue in the CAO role. This is a close working partnership: the CAO and this role will set legal and compliance strategy together, drive initiatives through the organization, and jointly oversee the function as it scales. The CAO retains Board-facing responsibilities and will serve as a thought partner across the full scope of the department's work. For a candidate joining as Deputy General Counsel, this position is structured as a clear transition to the General Counsel title. IES is a publicly traded infrastructure services company operating at the center of several powerful market trends: data center construction, power infrastructure, and electrification. The company has grown significantly through an active acquisition program that now includes international operations, and the legal function needs a leader who can grow with it. The team is experienced, trusted across the business, and well positioned to build the next chapter.

Why IES

IES is in a period of significant growth, driven by strong tailwinds in data centers, power infrastructure, electrification, and an expanding international footprint. The legal function is already strong, and this role offers a rare opportunity to grow with the business and help shape what the department looks like at the next stage. The right candidate will scale a proven, high-performing team into a larger, more modern, technology-forward legal department at a company whose business is accelerating. The right candidate will also have a genuine partner in the work: the CAO, who led this function as General Counsel for nearly seven years, will remain closely involved in strategy, initiatives, and oversight of the department. For a Deputy GC candidate, there is a clear path to the General Counsel title.
