Director of Information Technology
Guarantee Electrical is seeking a Director of Information Technology who understands that in electrical contracting, technology isn't just about keeping the lights on-it's about powering our competitive advantage. You'll be the architect of our technology infrastructure, the guardian of operational excellence, and the innovator who ensures our field teams have the tools they need to build tomorrow's electrical systems today. If you believe that great IT leadership means being both a strategic business partner and a hands-on problem solver, and you're energized by the challenge of supporting operations from the boardroom to the jobsite, we want to meet you.
What You'll Do
Drive Strategic Technology Vision
You'll align IT initiatives with our business objectives, developing long-term strategies that don't just support growth-they accelerate it. This means understanding where the electrical contracting industry is heading, anticipating technology needs before they become urgent, and ensuring every technology investment has a clear path to ROI. You'll translate complex technical possibilities into business opportunities that our leadership team can rally behind.
Master the Infrastructure
You'll oversee our entire technology ecosystem-from network infrastructure and servers to cloud services and everything in between. But this isn't just about maintaining systems; it's about optimizing them for both our office professionals planning million-dollar projects and our field electricians wiring complex installations. You'll ensure 99.9% uptime because when systems go down, projects stop moving.
Lead Technology Transformation
You'll champion the implementation of game-changing technologies-from cutting-edge construction software to mobile solutions that put power in our field teams' hands. Whether it's integrating Viewpoint Vista, deploying Accubid, or leveraging Bluebeam for digital workflows, you'll ensure new technologies enhance rather than disrupt our operations. You'll be our chief innovation officer, always scanning the horizon for what's next.
Build and Empower Your Team
You'll lead a diverse team of IT professionals-from desktop support to field specialists to project managers. But you won't just manage them; you'll develop them into technology leaders who share your passion for excellence. You'll create a culture where innovation thrives, problems are opportunities, and every team member understands how their work impacts our success.
Execute Complex Projects
You'll orchestrate multi-location IT initiatives that would make most IT directors nervous-system implementations across dozens of sites, infrastructure upgrades during live operations, technology rollouts to hundreds of field personnel. You'll manage these projects with the precision of a Swiss watch, ensuring on-time, on-budget delivery without disrupting the business.
Optimize Every Dollar
You'll develop and manage IT budgets that maximize value while minimizing waste. This means negotiating with vendors like our business depends on it (because it does), finding creative solutions to expensive problems, and proving that technology investments deliver measurable returns. You'll treat the company's money like your own.
Ensure Business Continuity
You'll develop disaster recovery plans that let our leadership sleep at night. When systems fail (and they will), you'll have backup plans for your backup plans. You'll ensure that whether it's a cyber attack, natural disaster, or simple hardware failure, our operations continue with minimal disruption.
Enable Field Excellence
You'll ensure our field teams have the technology they need to work efficiently and safely. This means robust mobile device management, reliable jobsite connectivity, and field-specific solutions that work in the real world-not just in theory. You understand that a foreman's tablet is just as critical as a server, and you'll support both with equal dedication.
Partner Across the Organization
You'll work hand-in-hand with our Director of Cybersecurity to ensure our infrastructure is both powerful and protected. You'll collaborate with business units to understand their needs before they become problems. You'll be equally comfortable presenting to the Guarantee Leadership Team, troubleshooting with field personnel, or strategizing with fellow directors.
Lead Through Acquisition
As we grow through acquisition, you'll be the technology integration expert who brings new companies into our ecosystem seamlessly. You'll standardize systems, consolidate infrastructure, and ensure that newly acquired teams feel supported, not disrupted, by technology changes.
