Role Overview

This is a senior leadership opportunity for a Construction Executive to steer performance across a specialty trade portfolio generating more than $40M in annual revenue. The position calls for someone who can work comfortably at both the jobsite and executive levels, balancing operational detail with strategic decision-making.

The role is aligned with a portfolio management model centered on margin protection, disciplined execution, financial transparency, and strong leadership alignment across several operating businesses.

Portfolio Scope

You will be responsible for a $42M portfolio spanning four businesses:

$15M Paint & Waterproofing business — primary focus, in-person leadership
Daily operational direction
Launch and expand the drywall division
$10M Drywall business — remote oversight
Estimate review, margin safeguarding, and executive escalation
$10M Stucco business — remote oversight
Financial performance and schedule control
$7M Paint business — remote oversight
Leadership development and quality standards

Key Responsibilities

This role combines operational control, financial oversight, client management, and growth strategy across the portfolio.

Lead execution across all companies with direct accountability for KPIs.
Ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget.
Track labor productivity, operational efficiency, and capacity planning.
Safeguard margins across every entity without compromise.
Review job costing, WIP, backlog, and forecast accuracy on a weekly basis.
Spot margin pressure early and escalate issues quickly.
Oversee several businesses using a “trust but verify” management style.
Keep leadership teams aligned, accountable, and moving in the same direction.
Maintain a steady reporting rhythm and execution discipline.
Manage relationships with Tier-1 general contractors such as Skanska, Barr & Barr, and JE Dunn.
Hold firm on pricing discipline and correct change order processes.
Support profitable growth rather than growth at any cost.
Lead the drywall expansion within the paint business.
Grow service lines without damaging existing margin performance.
Build systems that are repeatable, scalable, and operationally sound.

Qualifications

At least 10 years of experience in specialty trade construction, especially Finishes, Envelope, or Division 9/12 work.
Strong expertise in both estimating and project management.
Background managing multiple entities or divisions.
Demonstrated success in scaling or diversifying service offerings; drywall experience is preferred.
B.S. in Construction Management, Engineering, or a similar field is preferred.

Leadership Style

The ideal candidate should bring “humble authority” to the role — someone who understands field realities while still upholding standards and accountability.

Empathetic yet firm in decision-making.
Low-ego leadership with a focus on clarity and ownership.
Strong accountability standards for teams and commitments.
Executive presence that earns respect in both boardroom and field settings.
Approachable, but uncompromising when performance requires it.

Success Measures

Stable and improving margins across the portfolio.
Better forecasting accuracy and more predictable backlog.
Consistent execution cadence and KPI ownership.
Successful integration of drywall into the existing operation.
Lower variance between planned performance and actual results.

Summary

The right candidate will see a $40M+ portfolio as an operating system to refine and strengthen. This position is for a leader who develops people, protects profitability, and brings clarity where others create confusion.
