A thriving, multi-generational family-owned enterprise is looking a seasoned, hands-on Presidentto serve as the operational backbone and strategic sounding board for a dynamic, next-generation ownership group. Following a successful generational transition, ownership is aggressively pursuing growth, diversification, and new business ventures across several distinct operating lines. We are looking for an executive "integrator"—a steady, pragmatic leader with a sharp financial and operational mindset who can mentor a young, ambitious leadership team, vet new entrepreneurial ideas for commercial viability, and turn strategic vision into disciplined execution.
What You Will Do
Strategic Filtration & Venture Execution: Partner directly with entrepreneurial ownership to evaluate new business concepts, conduct feasibility and risk analysis, compartmentalize initiatives, and build structured rollout plans that make operational and financial sense.
Multi-Line Operational & Financial Leadership: Oversee full P&L performance, cash flow, capital allocation, and margin management across multiple business units—balancing high-volume seasonal peaks with year-round operational stability.
Leadership Mentorship & Culture: Provide daily, hands-on guidance, structure, and mentorship to an energetic, emerging management team. Foster accountability, refine workflows, and build scalable processes suitable for a growing, close-knit organization.
Risk, Compliance & Project Oversight: Ensure rigorous adherence to industry safety standards, fleet/regulatory compliance, insurance/bonding requirements, and contract risk management across all active projects.
Client & Commercial Stewardship: Maintain high-level relationships with key commercial partners, suppliers, and stakeholders while protecting company profitability and service standards.
Who You Are
Background: 10+ years of progressive senior leadership experience (GM, VP of Operations, COO, or President) within construction, heavy civil, agriculture, or complex field-service industries. Experience scaling small-to-midsize, privately held, or family-owned businesses is strongly preferred.
The "Integrator" Mindset: You thrive in fast-paced environments where ideas flow freely. You know how to say "not yet" constructively, stress-test numbers, and build step-by-step execution roadmaps without stifling entrepreneurial energy.
Financial & Operational Acumen: Deep fluency in P&L management, job costing, seasonal cash-flow planning, and operational bottleneck resolution.
High-Touch, Present Leader: This is a 100% onsite leadership role built on visibility, relationship-building, and accessibility. Because field operations and seasonal demands don't strictly follow a 9-to-5 clock, you are approachable and available to connect with ownership and key team leads during occasional evenings or weekends when critical decisions arise.
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Engineering, Construction Management, Agribusiness, or equivalent hands-on executive track record.
