Description

Director of Operations

Field-Based Leadership Track | Future Regional Management

About the Role

Asplundh is hiring a Director of Operations to join our fast-track leadership development program, designed to prepare experienced operations leaders for future executive-level roles within our organization. This role is ideal for candidates with a background in Utility Vegetation Management, field services, fleet-based operations, infrastructure maintenance, construction, waste services, or utility contracting, who are looking to apply their experience to large-scale, high-impact operational leadership.

Over the course of 12 to 18 months, the selected candidate will work directly under the guidance of a Regional Vice President, gaining first-hand exposure to the operational, financial, and safety aspects of our vegetation management business. This is a field-intensive role that requires a presence on job sites, in operational yards, and in front of customers.

Upon successful completion of the program, the Director of Operations will be positioned to assume full leadership of a business unit with P&L responsibility, operational oversight, and workforce leadership.

Why This Role Is Different

• You'll lead complex field operations involving large crews, heavy equipment, fleet logistics, and utility infrastructure.
• You’ll be responsible for safety performance, customer satisfaction, and operational delivery across multi-million-dollar contracts.
• You’ll build and lead a blue-collar workforce, gaining trust on the ground while interfacing with utility executives and municipal stakeholders.
• You’ll enter a proven career path toward senior leadership, supported by mentorship and exposure across business functions.
