About the Company:

FireSeeds is working with a well-established and rapidly growing construction contractor in Texas, who is seeking a senior Operations Manager to serve as the Executive over the field. This is a newly created leadership role designed to take full ownership of field execution, operational accountability, and day-to-day performance across multiple crews and projects.

• Proven success leading field operations in a growing heavy civil construction environment
• Strong leadership presence with the ability to manage change and complexity

Certifications:

• OSHA 30
• Confident, decisive, and highly organized
• Hungry, ambitious, and growth-oriented
• Humble, respectful, and values-driven
• High integrity with a hands-on, “scrappy” mindset

Challenges You’ll Tackle:

• Managing capacity and resources during rapid growth
• Resolving legacy issues while building future systems
• Developing leadership depth and bench strength
• Merging personalities and reinforcing a strong company culture
• Navigating the growing pains of a scaling organization
