We are supporting a US-based manufacturer of power distribution equipment. I am seeking an entrepreneurial and commercially driven General Manager to build and scale a new business unit for our client.

The GM will identify market opportunities, develop customer relationships, establish go-to-market strategies, and drive profitable revenue growth across industrial, utility, manufacturing, energy, infrastructure, and other adjacent sectors.

The ideal candidate combines strong commercial instincts with operational leadership experience and has a demonstrated track record of building businesses, opening new markets, and creating sustainable revenue growth. You'll thrive here if you are highly accountable, comfortable with ambiguity, and energized by creating something from the ground up.

Ideally, the candidate I am looking for is:

• A GM, Division Manager, Business Unit Leader, Senior Director/Regional VP within the electrical infrastructure, power systems, utility, industrial construction, or energy sectors.
• Leading a business unit, region, or P&L with meaningful revenue responsibility, typically ranging from $35M to $150M+.
• Responsible for business development, customer relationships, commercial strategy, financial performance, and overall business growth.
• Known as a builder who can identify opportunities, win work, and turn ideas into scalable business.
• Possesses an engineering degree/has an engineering background
