Full Job Description

We are seeking a Director of Operations to build and lead our construction delivery organization at Tarkett Sports Construction, Mid Atlantic. Based in Conshohocken, PA, reporting to the Regional Vice President.

What you'll do:

Project Delivery & Execution

·         Manage all construction projects) from GMP negotiation through closeout

·         Manage buyout, subcontractor procurement, and change order processes

·         Own project schedule, budget, and cost-to-complete forecasting

·         Drive project-level P&L — deliver at or above bid margin

·         Manage preconstruction-to-construction handoffs

·         Serve as primary client-facing delivery leader for owners from NTP through warranty

·         Support Go/No-Go decisions and pursuit strategy with delivery credibility

Team Build & Leadership

·         Recruit, hire, and develop Project Managers, Superintendents, and Project Engineers

·         Build a bench capable of running multiple concurrent projects without VP involvement on every job

·         Establish operating cadence with peer leaders (Self-Perform, Preconstruction, Sales)

·         Report to the RVP on delivery performance, org build progress, and risk exposure

Systems, Processes & Training

·         Design and document project delivery SOPs — from project setup and kickoff through closeout

·         Stand up project controls: cost reporting, WIP schedules, earned value tracking, monthly reviews

·         Implement Procore workflows and train the team on RFI, submittal, QC, daily log, and drawing management

·         Develop QA/QC programs with standardized inspection checklists and hold points

·         Build repeatable, auditable subcontractor procurement and buyout processes

·         Create project reporting templates (cost reports, schedule narratives, risk registers) as the regional standard

·         Train new hires and existing staff on all delivery systems — adoption is as important as design

Safety & Compliance

·         Drive zero-recordable safety culture on all construction projects

·         Ensure full compliance with TSP safety standards and OSHA requirements

What you need for success:

Experience

·         15+ years in construction project management, 5+ years at Project Executive or senior PM level

·         Must be GC-side experience at a commercial general contractor — not owner’s rep or CM advisor

·         Projects in the $20M–$75M+ range under GMP, Cost-Plus, or CM-at-Risk delivery

·         Institutional sectors: K-12, higher ed, municipal, healthcare, or sports/recreation facilities

·         Built and led project teams — hired PMs and Supers, not just inherited them

·         Implemented project delivery systems and trained teams on new processes

Technical Skills

·         CPM scheduling (P6 or equivalent), cost reporting, WIP preparation, earned value analysis

·         Procore, Bluebeam, Microsoft Office Suite

·         Sage, Spectrum, or equivalent construction ERP experience preferred

·         Deep knowledge of the Texas construction market — subs, owners, permitting, competition

Education & Certifications

·         Bachelor’s degree or extensive experience in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or related field

·         MBA or advanced degree a plus

·         OSHA 30-Hour required; CCM, PMP, or DBIA certifications a plus

Other

·         Strong communication and client relationship skills — owner-facing from day one

·         Travel across Mid Atlantic region as projects require

What you can expect:

·         A culture built on teamwork, respect, and entrepreneurial spirit

·         The opportunity to build a construction delivery organization from scratch with full regional leadership support

·         A seat at the leadership table with direct influence on strategy, growth, and operations

·         Competitive compensation: base salary, performance incentive, vehicle allowance, and milestone-based retention bonus

·         Leadership that invests in your growth and career development

·         A fast-paced, sports-driven environment where your work builds world-class venues
