General Manager – Optimum Building System s
Company Overview
Optimum Building Systems is a leading specialty contractor specializing in drywall, acoustical ceilings (ACT), and exterior siding systems primarily operating in northern New England. As a trusted trade partner across commercial, institutional, and multifamily projects for more than 35 years, we’ve built our success on craftsmanship, reliability, and excellent outcomes for our clients. Now a part of Wall Works Holdings, a growing platform of region-leading specialty contractors, we’re preparing for our next chapter of scalable growth by investing in quality data, efficient processes, and strong preconstruction capabilities to drive sustainable growth.
Position Summary
The General Manager (GM) will serve as the senior leader for Optimum Building Systems. This role will be responsible for the overall performance, leadership, and growth of the business — including full P&L ownership and oversight of all major functional areas : preconstruction, project delivery, safety, and finance.
