Director of Construction (Confidential Executive Search)

Director & Executive Roles for Commercial Construction. South Florida. Confidential executive search.

J & J Talent Group runs leadership searches for commercial general contractors and specialty contractors across Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade: operations, preconstruction, business development, people, and finance. We are taking confidential applications now, ahead of leadership searches we expect to open this fall and into 2027.

The seats we're built for

Director and VP of Operations. Director of Preconstruction and Chief Estimator. Director and VP of Business Development. Head of HR. Division President or General Manager for a regional office. Controller and CFO at owner-led contractors. Mostly firms in the $50M to $500M range, where the hire reports to an owner or president and the search needs to be quiet.

What we look for

Ten or more years in commercial construction, with the last five in a leadership seat. A P&L, a precon department, a BD pipeline, or a people function you built or ran. A track record you can walk through year by year. Discretion. Most of the people we place aren't looking, and we treat your application the same way.

How a search works with us

Confidential from the first call. Juan or Jess will call you within a week to understand where you are now, in your career, and what would motivate you to move. We ask about contact you've had with other contractors in the last 12 months to avoid any conflicts later. Nothing goes to a client without your OK, and you hear the client's name before deciding if you want to proceed. When a search fits, you get the full brief: the seat, the reporting line, the range, and why it's open.
