A leading national construction contractor specializing in security installations for large-scale infrastructure projects—particularly in the renewable energy, utility, and commercial/industrial sectors—is seeking a Vice President of Operations to drive operational transformation and growth. The company has delivered millions of linear feet of infrastructure across more than 30 states, generating strong existing revenues with clear targets for expansion in both regional and national markets.
This role offers an opportunity to take the helm of a business in transition, reset the operational foundation, and deliver both strategic direction and hands-on leadership. The VP of Operations will hold full P&L responsibility, lead a multi-layered operations team, and oversee project delivery from estimating through mobilization.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading and developing operations directors, back-office teams, and field staff.
- Driving process scalability, operational efficiency, and quality control.
- Ensuring subcontractor compliance, including IRA-related requirements, and mitigating legal/regulatory risks.
- Overseeing multi-state project execution with fast-paced, short-duration timelines.
- Collaborating with leadership to achieve revenue growth and margin improvement targets.
The ideal candidate will have:
- A strong background in construction leadership (fencing experience a plus).
- Proven ability to lead high-performing teams in multi-state operations.
- Exceptional commercial acumen, estimating skills, and contract management expertise.
- A commitment to being onsite and engaged in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area five days a week
This is a pivotal leadership role for a results-driven operations executive ready to guide a growing, nationally recognized contractor toward its next stage of sustainable success.
