Vice President of Construction Operations

Vice President Of Construction Operations

B2 Constructors, LLC is seeking an accomplished Vice President of Construction Operations to lead the firm's construction operations at the executive level. This role oversees construction operations, estimating, preconstruction coordination, project management, field execution, project financial performance, SOP development, and operational process improvement, and serves as a strategic partner in the company's growth toward its next stage of scale.

B2 is a federal prime contractor with a broad and growing project portfolio. The Vice President of Construction Operations oversees delivery across federal projects and helps expand the company's scope and capacity as it grows, including expansion into private-market work. This is a role for a driven builder who has the capacity to grow a department to the next level. The right person is decisive under real-world conditions, communicates directly with all stakeholders, hires and develops their own team, and keeps the work moving in a fast-moving, dynamic, and demanding environment.

This role is empowered to lead the operating side of the company, with authority that grows as judgment, communication, accountability, and measurable results are demonstrated.

1) Strategic and Executive Leadership

• Partner with the President to define and execute corporate vision, business objectives, and growth strategy toward the company's next stage of scale and beyond.
• Translate growth vision into operational goals and ensure alignment across project management, field operations, and preconstruction.
• Serve as a senior representative of B2 Constructors in high-level client, federal, partner, and industry engagements.

2) Operational Excellence and Project Delivery

• Direct project management and field operations, ensuring federal projects are delivered on time, on budget, and to B2's high standards.
• Advance the work with the information available and adjust as conditions change, rather than waiting for perfect information. Federal construction does not wait for perfect conditions, because they never exist.
• Establish and enforce operational standards, KPIs, and a consistent project review cadence that drive predictability and profitability.
• Oversee estimating and preconstruction strategy in partnership with the preconstruction team, ensuring accurate, competitive proposals aligned with financial objectives.
• Strengthen the handoff from estimating to operations so scope, assumptions, exclusions, schedule constraints, and margin strategy are understood before execution begins.
• Identify project risks early and ensure recovery plans are developed before they become avoidable delays, margin erosion, or formal disputes.

3) Client and Federal Relations

• Own the relationships with contracting officers, CORs, and federal clients. This requires knowing when in-person meetings are needed, and leading these in-person sit-downs.
• Resolve issues and conflicts proactively and early, before they become formal disputes.
• Manage subcontractor performance and relationships across the portfolio.
• Maintain B2's contractual positions in a demanding federal environment with professionalism and a disciplined, documented approach.

4) Team Leadership and Culture

• Build, hire, mentor, and lead the project management and field team, with real authority to grow the team as the company scales.
• Set performance standards, develop people, and make the hard calls when performance falls short.
• Champion a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
• Lead with optimism and decisiveness, believe in people's abilities until proven otherwise, and foster trust with clients, employees, and subcontractors.

5) Agile Leadership and Continuous Improvement

• Help implement practical Agile and Lean construction principles across operations: clear ownership, visible work status, short feedback loops, a regular project review cadence, and fast issue escalation.
• Run recurring operational reviews that surface constraints, remove roadblocks, assign clear owners, and keep projects moving.
• Lead lessons-learned reviews after bids, milestones, and closeout to improve…
