    Description

    Overview

    We are seeking a highly capable Director of Operations to lead and coordinate all operational aspects of our growing excavation and utility construction company. This role oversees field operations, project execution, and operational strategy to ensure projects are delivered safely, on time, on budget, and profitably. This is a hands-on leadership role. The Director of Operations will directly manage Superintendents, Project Managers, and oversee field crews, and will play a key part in supporting business development through client relationships, bid strategy, and operational excellence.

    Responsibilities

    • Field Operations & Leadership: Provide leadership, mentorship, and oversight to Superintendents managing additional crews. Ensure crews consistently meet productivity, quality, and safety standards. Lead by example in the field, setting expectations for accountability, performance, and professionalism. Address performance issues promptly and effectively.
    • Project Management Oversight: Oversee all active projects from startup through closeout. Supervise and support Project Managers with day-to-day operations. Review and manage project budgets and cost reports, labor and equipment utilization, job cost forecasts and billing accuracy. Ensure projects are completed on schedule, within scope, and within approved budgets.
    • Operational Coordination: Align Superintendents, Project Managers, and field crews with company goals and priorities. Lead weekly operations meetings and maintain visibility across all projects. Resolve scheduling, manpower, or equipment conflicts quickly and decisively. Coordinate closely with administrative functions to ensure smooth execution of billing, change orders, equipment usage, and project documentation.
    • Business Development & Client Relations: Build and maintain strong relationships with General Contractors, developers, and key vendors. Participate in preconstruction meetings, bid reviews, and proposal strategy discussions. Support company growth by identifying opportunities for repeat work and new market opportunities. Represent the company at industry events and key client meetings.
    • Process Improvement & Strategy: Identify inefficiencies in field operations, project execution, or internal processes. Assist in developing and implementing SOPs for project startup, execution, and closeout. Evaluate operational systems (scheduling, reporting, communication) and recommend improvements. Support long-term operational planning and scalability initiatives.
    • Reporting & Accountability: Track and report key operational metrics, including project performance, crew productivity, and financial and schedule forecasts. Maintain accountability scorecards for Superintendents and Project Managers. Provide regular feedback and performance evaluations for direct reports. Assist ownership with budgeting, forecasting, and backlog planning.

    Qualifications

    • 10 years of experience in excavation, heavy civil, utilities, or similar construction operations
    • Proven leadership experience managing field crews and project teams
    • Strong understanding of job costing, scheduling, and construction financials
    • Ability to balance hands-on field leadership with high-level operational oversight
    • Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills
    • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

    What We Offer

    • Competitive salary based on experience
    • Performance-based incentives tied to operational results
    • Leadership role with real authority and impact
    • Long-term growth opportunity within a stable, growing company
    • Supportive leadership team and strong operational foundation
