Director of Reconstruction: Build & Lead Startup

Colorado Springs, United States | Posted on 02/05/2026

Compensation: $115,000–$150,000 Base + Performance Bonus

Reports To: General Manager

Department Status: Startup Reconstruction Department

Year-One Revenue Target: $1,000,000+

We are representing a restoration organization launching a new reconstruction department in the Colorado Springs market and seeking a Director of Reconstruction to build it from the ground up.

This is a startup leadership role inside an established company
. The Director of Reconstruction will be responsible not only for project execution, but for building the team, establishing processes, and driving first-year revenue performance
. There is an aggressive but achievable $1M+ reconstruction target in year one
, and success requires someone who has done this before—or at least has led teams through growth phases.

This role is not suited for project managers who have only operated inside established departments
.

The right candidate is comfortable with ambiguity, capable of hiring and developing talent, and able to lead reconstruction operations without extensive existing infrastructure.

Build and lead the reconstruction department from inception, including hiring, onboarding, and developing the team

Own year-one reconstruction performance with a $1,000,000+ revenue target

Oversee residential and commercial reconstruction projects tied to restoration losses

Establish reconstruction workflows, standards, and operating rhythm

Lead field execution while maintaining accountability for cost, schedule, and quality

Partner closely with the General Manager on capacity planning, forecasting, and growth

Serve as the senior reconstruction authority for scopes, change orders, and escalations

Coordinate closely with mitigation and contents teams to create seamless job handoffs

Track job costing, labor efficiency, subcontractor performance, and profitability from day one

This is a build-and-lead role
, not a maintenance role

This is not appropriate for candidates without team-building experience

This role requires comfort operating without established processes or staffing

Success is measured by department launch, team development, and revenue delivery

Why This Opportunity

This is a rare chance to build something from the ground up without assuming startup risk alone. The company has existing restoration volume, leadership support, and growth intent—what’s missing is the right reconstruction leader. For someone who wants to leave their mark, this role offers ownership, visibility, and long-term upside.

Minimum 3 years of leadership experience in construction or reconstruction

Proven experience building, scaling, or significantly expanding a team or department

Strong construction background with hands-on reconstruction or remodel experience

Ability to manage multiple projects while building structure simultaneously

Demonstrated accountability for budgets, schedules, and outcomes

Consistent work history reflecting progression and resilience

Restoration reconstruction experience strongly preferred

Base Salary: $115,000–$150,000 (based on experience)

Performance Bonus: Tied to year-one revenue, margin performance, and department milestones
