A leadership seat with profit sharing and hybrid flexibility, where your decisions will shape how we scale.

About Sunset Valley Construction

We're a sitework and underground utilities contractor focused on building and maintaining essential infrastructure. We’re projecting to double in size over the next four years, and this role is a new addition to a three-person leadership team built intentionally ahead of that growth.

How You’ll Contribute

You’ll help prepare the company for its next phase, taking us from growth-stage contractor to a scalable operation with repeatable systems, margin control, and leadership depth.

What You’ll Get To Do
  • Build the operating structure for controlled growth with scalable systems and clear processes that protect profit and reduce waste
  • Own financial, sequencing, and schedule performance on $10M–$25M in annual revenue from NTP through closeout
  • Strengthen preconstruction and execution handoffs by managing RFIs, submittals, contracts, bonding, insurance, materials, and POs so nothing stalls once crews mobilize
  • Bridge engineering and field operations, so expectations remain clear and workable
  • Serve as one of three core leaders alongside Operations and Estimating/Business Development to build the structure and clarity that prepares us to double in size over the next four years
Who You Are
  • You’ve managed $10M–$25M projects from award through closeout
  • You read plans and specs fluently (civil, structural, architectural, mechanical)
  • You think like an engineer and stay steady when projects get complicated
  • You think in systems, build structure ahead of growth, and you’re comfortable using practical automation or AI where it improves clarity and control
  • You’re looking for responsibility at the company level, not just the project level
  • You’re comfortable operating in a small leadership group where decisions are visible, and accountability is direct
  • You take ownership of financial performance and accountability for results
  • You want the opportunity to build and develop your own team as the company scales
Even Better, But Not Required
  • You have a background specifically in civil construction
  • You’ve got hands‑on jobsite experience in commercial construction management
Typical Schedule
  • 40 to 50 hours per week
  • Monday through Friday
  • Minimal weekends
  • In person initially at the Ellington office
  • Remote/hybrid option after with quarterly or bi‑monthly site visits
  • Flexible structure
What’s In It For You Role-Specific:
  • $150,000 to $200,000 base salary
  • Performance-based bonus
  • Significant profit‑sharing potential
  • Leadership seat in a three‑person management team
  • Flexible, self‑managed PTO
  • High autonomy
  • Relocation assistance available
  • Open to nationwide candidates
Health & Financial:
  • Health, Dental, and Vision insurance after 3 months, 100% employer coverage
  • 401K with 3% company match after 3 months
  • Professional personal financial advice
Perks & Lifestyle:
  • Newer equipment with modern technology
  • Two prepaid plane tickets anywhere in the USA once a year for personal use
  • Personal use of SVC equipment, as long as it does not interfere with work schedules
  • Office staff support for data tracking, emails, computer usage, and scheduling
Team & Culture:
  • Low-ego, family‑first, faith‑driven culture
  • Mission‑oriented leadership
  • Mentorship and leadership development
