  • Director of Pre-Con (Estimating & Bids) to develop pursuit strategies and win plans for new-line opportunities.
  • Director of Project Controls to establish cost structures, ECACs, and financial tracking unique to the new verticals.
  • Chief of Staff to ensure quality, safety, and proposal standards are adapted for Expeditionary, Energy, and Medical work.
  • Directors of Construction and Environmental Operations to plan eventual hand-off of mature work into the traditional operations organization.
• Ensure new-line pursuits and early projects do not disrupt existing backlog delivery.

4. Organizational Build-Out

• Define the initial organizational structure, key hires, and capability gaps for each new business line.
• Recruit or second talent as needed to support launch activities.
• Establish performance metrics and reporting cadence for the new verticals that feed into executive-level dashboards.

5. Market Intelligence & Opportunity Development

• Continuously scan the market for Expeditionary, Energy, and Medical opportunities aligned with company strengths.
