About the Company A respected, growth-oriented electrical contractor serving industrial and commercial clients across the Midwest is seeking an experienced Operations Manager to lead and stabilize day-to-day operations.
The company is known for high standards, professional craftsmanship, and a commitment to integrity, accountability, and consistent performance. Its leadership team is disciplined, hands-on, and deeply invested in building a structured, people‑first organization where professionalism is the norm — not the exception.
About the Role This position will serve as the President’s operational counterpart — the steady hand who turns vision into execution.
The ideal candidate will be a grounded, high‑integrity leader who thrives on structure, mentors naturally, and brings calm, clarity, and discipline to complex operations. This is not a “learn as you go” role. The right person will walk in ready to lead, coach, and stabilize from day one.

Lead and oversee daily operations, manpower planning, scheduling, and job‑cost tracking
Coach and develop foremen, project managers, and support staff
Standardize and enforce systems for safety, quality, and efficiency
Ensure accurate estimating, labor projections, and bid preparation
Protect project margin through disciplined execution and documentation
Maintain and strengthen customer relationships through professionalism and reliability
Translate leadership direction into consistent field execution
Balance field visibility with office oversight — confident in boots or in meetings
Qualifications
20–30 years of experience in commercial/industrial electrical construction
Background as Project Manager, Estimator, Division Manager, or Operations Director
Comprehensive understanding of the Electrical Code (NEC) and its field application
Deep technical knowledge — able to read and redline prints, conduit, tray, MCCs, grounding, and controls
Estimating competence — understands labor units, takeoffs, and pricing discipline
Financially literate — connects P&L, job costing, and scheduling to field results
Excellent communicator — clear, timely, and composed under pressure
High emotional intelligence — earns respect through steadiness, not force
Proven record of building and enforcing operational systems that last
What You’ll Bring
A stabilizing presence — calm, fair, and consistent under stress
A coach’s mindset — develops people while maintaining accountability
Professional maturity — operates with discretion, loyalty, and trustworthiness
Alignment with values of integrity, professionalism, dedication and persistence
