Gridworx is on a mission to deliver unmatched customer service through creative problem-solving, collaborative teamwork, and engineered wall cladding systems built with the installer in mind. For over 20 years, we’ve built our reputation one project at a time—by thinking outside the box, supporting our customers and each other, and delivering mechanical attachment solutions that streamline installation and overcome complex challenges. Our relaxed but focused culture encourages open communication, accountability, and innovation. What sets us apart isn't just our systems—it's our people, our service, and our commitment to building lasting relationships. At Gridworx, we don’t just hire for open roles—we hire for impact. If you're a strategic operator with a track record of running businesses, leading teams, and building structure from the ground up—especially in construction, manufacturing wall cladding systems—we want to hear from you. This is a high-trust, high-responsibility role where you’ll work side-by-side with our visionary CEO to bring order to the chaos, establish scalable processes, and position the company for long-term growth. ROLE: As Chief Operating Officer at Gridworx, you’ll take the reins on day-to-day operations so our CEO can focus on what he does best—vision, strategy, and sales. This role is perfect for an experienced leader with a strong background in

finance , construction/industrial operations, and architectural manufacturing who is ready to step into a builder’s seat—not just to manage systems, but to create them from scratch. You’ll bring logic and structure to a business that’s grown on intuition and hustle. With a one-year runway to fully ramp, you’ll be the internal engine that keeps projects moving, teams aligned, and decisions grounded in data. This is not a

decision-makin g role, but a

support role

to help execute and bring clarity to the vision. You’ll act as a second set of eyes, ears, and logic for the CEO—and help turn entrepreneurial speed into operational excellence. RESPONSIBILITIES: Operational Command Oversee day-to-day operations across design, fabrication, procurement, project management, and administration Build structure, implement accountability, and ensure teams operate with clarity Create systems that don’t rely on constant CEO involvement
