About the Opportunity

We’re partnering with a nationally established industrial infrastructure organization seeking a senior executive leader to oversee regional performance across a multi-state territory. This role carries full responsibility for safety, quality, profitability, and strategic growth across a diverse portfolio that includes industrial construction, mission critical infrastructure, and data center development.

The region represents significant annual revenue scale and includes complex project delivery across multiple markets and geographies. This position plays a central role in shaping organizational structure, driving operational discipline, and ensuring consistent execution across the full lifecycle of industrial and mission critical programs.

This opportunity is ideal for a proven operational executive who understands how to scale complex businesses, diversify market exposure, and lead teams delivering schedule-sensitive, uptime-driven infrastructure such as data centers alongside broader industrial project portfolios.

Growth & Market Diversification

• Lead expansion across industrial, infrastructure, and mission critical markets
• Support pursuit and delivery of data center and other uptime-sensitive opportunities
• Balance portfolio mix across sectors and geographies
• Position the region for sustainable growth and opportunity capture

Cross-Selling & Client Engagement

• Champion integrated service delivery across the organization’s capabilities
• Partner with sales and operational teams to maximize customer value
• Participate in client meetings, proposals, and relationship development
• Strengthen positioning within mission critical and data center client ecosystems

Project Controls & Execution Standards

• Ensure adherence to financial and operational control standards
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, scheduling, cost tracking, and closeout discipline
• Collaborate with internal controls groups to refine execution processes
• Participate in bid and constructability reviews for complex infrastructure work

Organizational Development

• Design and evolve regional organizational structure
• Recruit and develop professional and craft leadership
• Guide workforce planning and compensation standardization
• Mentor leaders responsible for mission critical and industrial delivery teams

Resource & Utilization Management

• Ensure effective labor utilization and staffing readiness
• Align workforce deployment with growth objectives
• Support readiness for large-scale data center and industrial opportunities

Financial Planning

• Partner with finance teams to develop annual budgets and forecasts
• Monitor performance against KPI and strategic benchmarks
• Drive alignment with long-term business planning objectives

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• 15+ years of progressive operational leadership responsibility
• Proven success managing complex, multi-site or multi-business operations
• Demonstrated P&L ownership and financial management capability
• Experience leading mission critical or data center infrastructure delivery strongly valued
• Strong executive leadership, decision-making, and communication skills

• MBA or advanced degree
• Experience within industrial construction, infrastructure, energy, or manufacturing
• Background operating in high-growth or acquisition-driven organizations
• Exposure to enterprise-scale operational leadership

Work Environment & Travel

This role spans corporate, regional, and field environments.

Travel requirements are significant and may reach up to 75%, including overnight travel.

Field engagement may include exposure to active construction and industrial sites, including mission critical and data center environments, requiring PPE and adherence to safety protocols.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Executive leadership responsibility over major regional operations
• Strategic influence on growth across industrial and mission critical markets
• Opportunity to shape positioning within the data center infrastructure space
