Vice President of Construction: Electrical Contracting Palm Beach Gardens, FL • Full-time • On-site
The Opportunity - Vice President of Construction: Electrical Contracting We're a growing electrical contractor: high-end custom homes, commercial projects from $200K to $10M, and a thriving service division. We're preparing to double. To do it, we're hiring a Vice President of Construction to run everything on the construction side: our Residential division, our Commercial division, and Preconstruction.
This is not a figurehead role and it's not a stepping-stone you'll pass through unnoticed. You will report directly to the CEO with full authority over construction operations, including crews, schedules, staffing, and job-level decisions.
Your Responsibilities - Vice President of Construction: Electrical Contracting - Manage two build divisions. Ensure these divisions are hitting their numbers, managing labor budgets, schedules, and margins, reviewed biweekly with your Field Leaders.
- Own the handoff seam. Deliver clean turnovers from estimating to the field on every job; nothing mobilizes without a signed-off buyout.
- Protect margin. No profit fade from estimate to completion; capture change orders, never give them away.
- Build the leadership pipeline. Develop Field Leaders and Coaches, and graduate foremen on a defined path. This is the single constraint on our growth, and it will be your legacy.
- Own safety. Take ultimate ownership of construction safety, executed through your Field Leaders and Coaches.
- Set the standards. Establish the operating procedures, reporting rhythms, and dashboards construction runs on.
What Success Looks Like Your performance will be measured on a real scorecard, reviewed with the CEO, evaluating gross profit by division, GP fade, labor hours vs. percent complete, schedule adherence, backlog, turnover completeness, leaders developed per year, and recordables. If a scorecard makes you nervous, this role may not be the right fit. If it motivates you, welcome home.
Experience Required - Vice President of Construction: Electrical Contracting - 10+ years in construction operations, with significant electrical or MEP trade experience; multi-project or multi-division leadership required.
- A builder of people first. You can point to foremen, supers, or PMs who lead today because you developed them.
- Fluent in the numbers: WIP, labor productivity, buyouts, change orders, margin. You read a job cost report the way most people read a menu.
- A servant leader with a spine. Humble enough to serve a crew, strong enough to stop a job that's going sideways.
- Someone who exhibits high character and integrity.
Our Values: the LET'S GO Standard Love: we serve people the way Jesus Christ served us. Excellence: our work is our worship; integrity in every detail. Trust: we do what we said, when we said. Stewardship: everything we manage belongs to God. Growth: we multiply what's entrusted to us. Ownership: no blame, no excuses, full responsibility.
What We Offer A family-first culture that protects you from burnout instead of causing it, supported by a voluntary chaplaincy program, and the chance to build something that outlives you.
Salary & Benefits - Vice President of Construction: Electrical Contracting - Salary range: $175,000 to $200,000, plus performance incentives tied to your scorecard.
- 401(k) with 4% company match.
- Health, dental, vision, and life insurance.
- Paid time off.
- Paid holidays.
