Title: VP of Operations (Integrator)

Compensation Snapshot:

• Base Salary: $135,000 – $165,000 (Guaranteed)
• Performance Bonus: Up to 100% of Base (Tied directly to Net Income)
• Total Target Comp: $270,000 – $330,000

We are looking for a true Integrator and business partner. We pay a secure six-figure base, but the real wealth is built by sharing the profit you help create.

The Opportunity: We are a specialized construction and manufacturing firm powering the world’s data centers. We are a lean, high-performance team of 4 people generating $10M in annual revenue. We punch way above our weight class.

We are looking for a VP of Operations who has the chops to sit in the Integrator seat. You will not just be managing projects; you will be running the engine of the company. You will partner directly with the Owner (the Visionary) to take high-level goals and translate them into executed reality.

Our Scope:

• Security Caging: Not your typical fence. We build them like Fort Knox. From underfloor slab to overhead decking, cutting and plating around conduits to minimize any gaps in a live data center. Our cages are scrutinized and audited by the client with strict security requirements. Miss a bolt, they'll notice.
• Containment: Cold Aisle or Hot Aisle we don't discriminate. We are well versed at working with multiple manufacturers that our clients want installed.
• Conveyance: Single Tier, Two Tier, Three Tier, we'll install it.

Who You Are:

• A Builder: You have deep experience in construction, preferably in mission-critical or data center environments. You know how to manage subcontractors, estimate complex jobs, and keep safety non-negotiable. Most importantly, you know intimately how this stuff physically goes together.
• A Problem Solver: You don't panic when the material is late or the sub backs out. You aggressively find the solution, re-sequence the work, and communicate the reality to the client. You run toward the fire, not away from it.
• An Integrator: You love structure. While the Visionary has 10 new ideas a week, you filter them, prioritize them, and ensure the team executes the best ones. You are the "tie-breaker" for the leadership team and the "steady hand" for the staff.
• A Scaler: You understand that to grow from $10M to $30M, we cannot just "work harder." We need better systems, better vendor relationships, and a wider network of subcontractors.
• A Doer: We've got responsible in-house PM's, but you'll be building out the field and execution, wearing multiple hats as Superintendent one day, VP the next.

The "Seat" (Responsibilities):

• LMA (Lead, Manage, Accountable): You will lead the construction division and bridge the gap between the Hudson office and the field. The team reports to you.
• Project Profitability: You own the P&L for the division. You ensure jobs are estimated correctly and delivered within that budget to combat "job fade."
• Strategic Account Management: While you aren't cold-calling, you are the face of the company for our key clients. You ensure they are thrilled so they hand us the next contract automatically. You are always looking for the next opportunity to keep the team running efficiently.
• Subcontractor Strategy: Build and maintain a bench of reliable subs to allow us to scale labor up and down as needs dictate.

The "No Ivory Tower" Reality Check: We are a lean, $10M company with 4 people. We punch way above our weight class, but we do not have layers of corporate fat.

• If you are looking for a corner office where you just read reports and delegate 100% of the work, do not apply.
• As our Integrator/Operations Leader, you will build the high-level P&L strategy on Monday, but you might have to jump on a plane to a data center to unf*ck a material delay on Tuesday.
• We need a "Player-Coach" who has the executive mindset to scale us to $30M, but the gritty mechanical aptitude to act as a Superintendent when the fire alarms go off.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years in Construction Management (Data Center/Mission Critical/Telecom experience is a massive plus).
• Proven experience running and owning P&L for a division or small business.
• Willingness to travel 50%+ as business needs dictate until you build your team.
• Experience with EOS (Traction) is preferred; a "systems-mindset" is mandatory.
