Job Description

Place Services, Inc. has an immediate need for a Director of Operations to be based out of our corporate HQ in Canton, GA.

Who We Are :

Place Services Inc. is a leading commercial construction company with our headquarters based in Canton, Georgia. Since 2006 we have grown largely due to how we view and treat our customers. We also provide our employees a culture that allows for growth and the opportunity to learn more about construction in the local and nationwide markets.

We offer our employees a competitive base salary with bonus potential, as well as medical, dental, vision, life and accident insurance. Place Services Inc. contributes to your 401K upon your eligibility to participate in the program and offers a generous PTO program along with paid holidays.

Growing from a team of 4 at inception to over 800 strong today, we assist our clients by providing them construction excellence in service and product in every front available and needed. Our depth of clients expertise ranges from the grocery industry to big box retail as well as both state and Federal government projects in military and healthcare.

What You’ll Do :

As the Director of Operations, you will lead a team to execute and scale operational performance across all aspects of PSI Operations. With a strategic mindset and broad operational expertise, you’ll drive alignment, efficiency, and excellence throughout the organization. Reporting to the COO, you will have two main areas of function; a key business leader for the construction divisions (Operations teams) with direct accountability and ownership to create, implement, and assess; safety and quality programs, client experience metrics, the fleet, facilities, equipment, and warehousing processes, continuous improvement opportunities, and construction AI utilization. Secondly, you’ll engage with all construction divisions to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our PSI Proven Process from preconstruction to project closeout.

This role is central to our ONE PSI vision — breaking down silos, aligning people and processes, and fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and collaboration. You will ensure our construction teams are positioned for success by implementing strong operational systems, supporting high-performing teams, and enhancing client experience. Your leadership will empower teams to deliver exceptional results safely, on time, exceeding quality expectations, and within budget.
