Job Description

Operations Manager

Confidential Midwest Electrical Contractor

Full-time | Senior Leadership Role | Industrial & Commercial Construction

About the Company A respected, growth-oriented electrical contractor serving industrial and commercial clients across the Midwest is seeking an experienced Operations Manage r 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.

Key Responsibilities

  • 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 National 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
  • For more information contact Tami Manker - email

    The employer is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic.
