Job description

B&S Site Development is a fast‑growing leader in large‑parcel, mission‑critical site development, delivering complex, time‑sensitive civil construction projects for some of the world’s most demanding clients. Since 2003, we’ve built a reputation for precision, speed, and accountability—transforming large tracts of land into fully prepared e‑infrastructure sites through heavy civil expertise, disciplined project management, and a culture of ownership at every level. Our multi‑regional operations are supported by offices in Columbus, Ohio; Manassas, Virginia; Richmond, Virginia; South Hill, Virginia; and Atlanta, Georgia, enabling us to scale rapidly while maintaining exceptional execution standards.

At B&S, we believe in developing talent from within, fostering a culture where driven individuals can build long‑term careers. Whether in the field or the office, our teams are united by a shared commitment to innovation, safety, and delivering exceptional results for our clients.

Vice President of Human Resources

Role Summary

B&S Site Development is entering a pivotal phase of growth—evolving from a high‑performing regional civil contractor into a nationwide leader in large‑parcel, mission‑critical site development. As we expand across the Eastern United States and into new markets, the complexity of our workforce, compliance landscape, and operational demands will increase significantly. To support this next chapter, we are creating the role of Vice President of Human Resources, a senior executive who will architect the HR infrastructure, strategy, and culture required to scale the company nationally.

This role is both visionary and operational. The VP of HR will serve as a key member of the executive leadership team, partnering closely with the President/CEO, COO, Director of Talent, Safety leadership, and field operations to build a modern, field‑centric HR function that protects the business, strengthens our workforce, and accelerates growth—without introducing unnecessary corporate layers or slowing execution. B&S operates a highly geographically dispersed, bilingual workforce, and the VP of HR must design systems that support field teams effectively across multiple states and job sites.

We are seeking a builder, not a bureaucrat: someone who understands the realities of heavy civil construction and can design systems that work for superintendents, foremen, and crews spread across the country.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership & Organizational Development

Serve as the chief HR strategist to the President/CEO and executive team, shaping the people strategy for national expansion.
Develop a multi‑year HR roadmap that supports entry into new states, new service lines, and increasingly complex project portfolios.
Design organizational structures that support scale, accountability, and operational clarity across dispersed teams.
Lead enterprise‑wide workforce planning in partnership with Operations, Talent, and Finance.
Build leadership capability across field and office roles to support long‑term succession and growth.

Compliance, Risk Mitigation & Quality Control

Oversee national and multi‑state compliance including employment law, E‑Verify, wage and hour, and state‑specific regulations.
Develop scalable, field‑friendly policies that protect the company without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
Lead high‑risk investigations and partner with legal counsel on complex employee relations matters.
Establish enterprise‑wide HR quality controls to ensure consistency across all offices and job sites.
Align HR with Safety on training, incident response, return‑to‑work programs, and workforce readiness.

Construction‑Specific Workforce Management

Ensure compliance with construction labor requirements including prevailing wage, certified payroll, apprenticeship programs, and job‑site documentation.
Support project managers and superintendents with field‑based HR needs, including staffing, discipline, conflict resolution, and performance coaching.
Build systems for managing multi‑state and travel crews, subcontractor compliance, and job‑site onboarding.
Develop HR strategies that effectively support a bilingual, highly dispersed workforce across multiple regions.

Talent Acquisition & Workforce Development

(In partnership with the Director of Talent)

Build scalable recruiting engines for high‑volume field roles and specialized technical positions.
Standardize onboarding and training across all states and project types.
Develop leadership pathways for foremen, superintendents, and project managers.
Drive succession planning to support long‑term organizational stability.

HR Operations & Systems

Evaluate and modernize HR operations to support national scale.
Select and implement enterprise HR technology including HRIS, ATS, LMS, and timekeeping systems.
Oversee compensation strategy, job classifications, and performance management frameworks.
Ensure audit‑ready compliance and accurate recordkeeping across all jurisdictions.

Culture & Employee Experience

Champion a culture of accountability, teamwork, and respect across field and office environments.
Strengthen communication practices for a dispersed, multilingual workforce.
Drive retention and engagement initiatives that support long‑term workforce stability.

Team Leadership

Lead and develop the HR organization, including the HR Manager and supporting staff.
Provide executive‑level mentorship, escalation support, and strategic direction.
Ensure alignment between HR, Talent, Safety, and Operations.

Working Relationships

HR Manager

The HR Manager will continue to oversee day‑to‑day HR operations, including payroll coordination, benefits administration, employee relations triage, onboarding logistics, and recordkeeping.

The VP Of HR Will:

Provide strategic direction and executive‑level mentorship
Establish standards, processes, and compliance frameworks
Ensure the HR Manager has the tools and structure needed to scale nationally

The VP Of HR Will:
