Job description

Vice President of Operations | Electrical Construction

Ready to move beyond managing projects and take ownership of an entire operation?

An opportunity to take the reins of an electrical contracting operation, drive commercial performance, build high-performing teams, and have a genuine influence on the direction of the business.

The Role

You’ll take the lead on the overall operational and financial performance of the business, working alongside executive leadership to drive growth, strengthen profitability, and build a high-performing operation.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Business Leadership: Oversee operational strategy, project performance, and the overall direction of the business.
• Financial Performance: Take ownership of budgets, forecasting, profit and loss, and work-in-progress reporting.
• Commercial Strategy: Oversee project procurement, estimating, contracts, and commercial risk to ensure the business pursues and delivers profitable work.
• Team Development: Lead, mentor, and develop operational leaders and project management teams, building a strong pipeline of future talent.
• Business Growth: Identify opportunities to improve performance, expand the project portfolio, and strengthen client relationships.
• Executive Collaboration: Work closely with senior leadership on business planning, operational objectives, and long-term strategy.
• Operational Excellence: Drive improvements in processes, project delivery, safety, quality, and overall efficiency.

What They’re Looking For:

• Around 10 years of mid- to senior-level management experience within electrical contracting.
• A strong track record in operational leadership, commercial management, and financial performance.
• Experience overseeing multiple projects, leading teams, and driving profitability.
• The ability to think strategically while understanding the commercial realities of delivering electrical construction projects.
• Strong leadership skills, with the ability to develop people, influence decisions, and build lasting relationships.
• A construction management or electrical engineering degree is preferred, although equivalent industry experience will be considered.
• Experience with CMiC ERP software would be advantageous.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Employee ownership: Have a genuine stake in the company's success and share in the rewards of its growth.
• Executive influence: Play a key role in business decisions, operational strategy, and future expansion.
• Leadership development: Access mentorship and development opportunities to support your continued growth.
• Competitive benefits: A comprehensive package designed to support you and your family.
• Long-term opportunity: Help build a stronger operation, develop future leaders, and leave your mark on the business.

The Bottom Line

This opportunity is aimed at an established electrical construction leader who is ready to take the next step, moving from managing projects and teams to influencing the performance and direction of an entire operation.

If you have the commercial experience, leadership ability, and ambition to operate at executive level, this could be the opportunity to make that move.
