Owner / CEO Role:

Full operational leadership of the company

We are seeking a Director of Operations to run the day-to-day operations of our construction and renovation business so ownership can step away from daily management.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who knows how to run people, projects, and processes, deal with internal issues firmly and professionally, and ensure the company operates profitably and consistently.

What You Will Be Responsible For Operations Leadership

Oversee all daily operations of the company

Manage and direct:
  • Project Manager(s)
  • Site Supervisors
  • Design staff
  • Office / administrative staff
  • Sourcing and inventory functions

Ensure projects are executed consistently, on schedule, and within budget

People Management & Accountability

Establish clear expectations for performance and conduct

Address internal employee issues decisively and professionally

Manage:
  • Performance improvement plans
  • Discipline
  • Role alignment
  • Terminations (with owner approval where required)

This role requires comfort in handling difficult conversations and correcting behavior early.

Project Oversight

Oversee all active renovation and construction projects

Ensure clean handoff from estimating to production

Hold project managers and site supervisors accountable for:

  • Scope
  • Schedule
  • Budget
  • Client communication

This role is not hands‑on daily field labor, but direct leadership of those who are.

Financial & Budget Oversight (Operational Side) Oversee:
  • Job budgets
  • Cost tracking
  • Margin protection
  • Change order discipline

Work closely with ownership and accounting on:

  • Cash flow forecasting
  • Billing cadence
  • Operational financial performance

(Owner retains banking and final financial authority.)

Systems, Process & Compliance

Build and enforce standard operating procedures

Ensure compliance with:

  • OSHA safety standards
  • Permitting and code requirements

Create consistency across teams, projects, and departments

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience running operations in a construction or renovation company. You must understand construction to be successful in this position

Strong leadership skills with the ability to:
  • Enforce standards
  • Hold people accountable
  • Make difficult decisions

Experience overseeing:

  • Project managers
  • Field supervisors
  • Office and support staff
Strong understanding of:
  • Budgets and job costing
  • Cash flow from an operational standpoint
  • Construction sequencing and execution

Professional, calm, and decisive leadership style

What This Role Is (and Is Not) This role IS:
  • Full authority over day‑to‑day operations
  • Responsible for people, projects, and performance
  • A long‑term leadership position with growth opportunity
This role is NOT:
  • A figurehead
  • A hands‑on labor role
  • A “check with the owner first” position
Compensation

Competitive base salary

Performance‑based bonus tied to:

  • Profitability
  • Operational stability
  • Reduced owner involvement

Long‑term opportunity to grow with the company

How to Apply

Send a brief summary outlining:

  • Your experience running construction or renovation operations
  • The size and type of teams you’ve managed
  • How you’ve handled performance or personnel issues in the past

We value real leadership experience over polished resumes.

Final note

This role requires someone who can run a Diverse Construction business, not just manage tasks. 10 years of hands on construction industry experience
