This is a senior leadership opportunity for an experienced executive to take ownership of a multi-site operation, drive business performance, and play a key role in the company's next phase of development.

The ideal Vice President has 20+ years of experience within the precast concrete, prestressed concrete manufacturing industry, with a strong understanding of the entire production process. They have a proven track record of leading multiple manufacturing facilities, developing senior management teams, and improving operational and financial performance. This individual understands the balance between production efficiency, product quality, customer commitments, and profitability, with safety remaining the highest priority across every facility.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Executive-Level Influence: Direct access to the CEO, with the opportunity to influence business strategy and key operational decisions.
• Business-Wide Impact: Take ownership of multi-site operations and drive performance across an established manufacturing business.
• Long-Term Growth: Play a key role in shaping the company's future direction, operational development, and continued growth.
• Leadership Opportunity: Develop and lead senior management teams while establishing a culture of accountability and operational excellence.
• Market-Leading Compensation: Competitive executive compensation package, with potential performance-based incentives aligned with the scope of the role.

Responsibilities:

• Lead operational performance across multiple manufacturing facilities, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and profitability.
• Work directly with the CEO and senior leadership team to develop and execute business strategy.
• Oversee senior operational leaders, including Plant Managers and other department heads.
• Drive improvements in production efficiency, labour utilization, manufacturing costs, and overall plant performance.
• Manage operational budgets, financial forecasting, capital expenditure, and cost-control initiatives.
• Ensure high standards of workplace safety, product quality, and regulatory compliance.
• Identify opportunities for business growth, capacity expansion, and continuous improvement.
• Align manufacturing capabilities with commercial objectives, customer commitments, and delivery expectations.

Qualifications:

• 20+ years of experience within precast concrete, prestressed concrete, or related construction materials manufacturing.
• Proven senior leadership experience overseeing multiple facilities or large-scale manufacturing operations.
• Strong understanding of precast production processes, quality assurance, plant performance, and operational efficiency.
• Experience managing budgets, capital expenditure, labour costs, and manufacturing profitability.
• Demonstrated ability to develop senior management teams and drive performance across multiple locations.
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Manufacturing, Construction Management, Business Administration, or a related field preferred.
• Strong commercial awareness, communication skills, and strategic decision-making ability.

Ideal Candidate:

The ideal candidate is an established industry leader who combines a strong technical understanding of precast manufacturing with the commercial awareness required to lead a large-scale operation.

They are comfortable working directly with executive leadership, making high-level business decisions, and holding senior management teams accountable for performance. They understand how to improve operational efficiency without compromising safety or quality and have the leadership ability to bring consistency across multiple facilities.

Above all, they are looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful business-wide impact, influence long-term strategy, and contribute directly to the continued success of an established industry player.

A competitive executive compensation package is available, commensurate with experience and the scope of the position. The package is expected to reflect the seniority of the role, with potential performance-based incentives and an opportunity to contribute to the company's long-term success.
