Chief Executive Officer

COMPANY OVERVIEW

A California based electrical contracting platform serving multifamily, single family, and commercial builders across the state. The platform generates approximately $85 million in annual revenue and roughly 400 employees across two main service lines:

• New construction electrical, serving multifamily, single family, and commercial builders

The sponsor group is seeking a Chief Executive Officer to lead the business, drive operational performance, and execute on the growth strategy.

POSITION SUMMARY

The Chief Executive Officer will hold full P&L responsibility for the platform and report to the sponsor and the board. The role is responsible for setting strategic direction, professionalizing operations, building the management team, and scaling the platform's recurring revenue lines.

• Strengthen bid discipline, job costing, and labor management within the new construction business, with particular focus on multifamily project execution
• Drive operational improvements across purchasing, back office functions, and field management

• Build and develop the management bench, with succession planning beneath retiring ownership
• Partner with the sponsor group on strategic acquisitions and capital deployment to expand the platform
• Serve as the primary point of accountability to lenders, investors, and the board
