Steel Erection Operations Manager (Fractional or Full Time)

Steel Erection Operations Manager (Fractional Or Full-Time)

We're a fast-growing steel erection company specializing in PEMB and structural steel. Built from the ground up, we've proven our grit, our crew, and our work ethic. Now we need an experienced operator to build and run the internal systems that will carry us to the next level profitably and sustainably.

We are looking for a proven construction operations professional with deep experience in steel erection who can step in immediately and build out all backend systems : job costing, scheduling, invoicing, cash flow tracking, field coordination, and profitability control. You won't be "managing managers" you'll be building the machine.

This role can start as fractional (1020 hours per week) or grow into a full-time leadership position depending on fit and impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and implement company-wide operational systems from scratch
• Set up SOPs for bidding handoff, job kickoff, mobilization, and closeout
• Implement invoicing schedules and lien waiver systems to ensure consistent cash flow
• Build job costing and cost tracking dashboards (labor, materials, equipment, subs)
• Standardize change order workflows and documentation
• Coordinate with field leads to ensure labor productivity and schedule adherence
• Set up dashboards / tools to monitor profitability in real time
• Assist with contract negotiation review and risk protection
• Create structure for hiring, onboarding, and training field or office staff as we scale
• Recommend and implement tools (e.g., QuickBooks, Google Sheets, Trello, Buildertrend, etc.)
