Job description

Lead. Build. Grow.

This is an opportunity for an experienced electrical construction leader to take ownership of an entire regional operation.

Our client is a leading electrical contractor with an established presence and a growing footprint in Central Ohio. They are looking for an experienced Operations Manager to lead the Central Ohio region, develop high-performing teams, drive operational excellence, strengthen customer relationships, and help grow the business.

This is a true regional leadership opportunity—not simply a Project Manager role with a bigger title.

What You'll Own

You'll be responsible for the overall performance and growth of the Central Ohio region, working directly with company leadership to build a stronger, more profitable operation.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Lead the Central Ohio electrical construction operation.
• Oversee multiple commercial and multifamily projects.
• Lead and develop Project Managers, Superintendents, Estimators, and other key personnel.
• Drive project profitability, financial performance, forecasting, and accountability.
• Develop and execute regional operational strategies.
• Build and maintain relationships with major General Contractors, owners, developers, and customers.
• Help win new work and expand existing customer relationships.
• Participate in preconstruction, estimating, project pursuits, and contract negotiations.
• Recruit, develop, and retain top electrical construction talent.
• Establish operational standards and improve project delivery.
• Identify problems before they become expensive problems.
• Partner with executive leadership on regional growth and business strategy.
• Create a culture where people are accountable, supported, and motivated to perform.

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for an electrical construction leader, not someone who simply wants an Operations Manager title.

You should have a strong background in:

• Commercial electrical construction
• Multifamily electrical construction
• Ground-up construction
• Design-Build
• Preconstruction
• Project Management
• Field Operations
• Financial/project management

You should also have a proven history of leading people and multiple projects simultaneously.

Most importantly, you need to genuinely enjoy the commercial/multifamily electrical construction space and want to build a long-term career in it.

This Could Be Your Next Big Move

If you're currently a:

• Senior Project Manager
• Project Executive
• Operations Manager
• Division Manager
• Regional Manager
• Senior Electrical Construction Leader

…and you're ready to own a market rather than just manage projects, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

You'll have the resources of an established electrical contractor behind you, while having a direct impact on people, projects, customers, profitability, and regional growth.

You won't just inherit an operation. You'll have the opportunity to build it.

If you're ready to take the next step in your electrical construction career and want to learn more about the opportunity, let's have a confidential conversation.
