Job description

Elite Executive Solutions has been retained to conduct a confidential search on behalf of a well-established, highly respected general contractor with a strong presence throughout the New York metropolitan area. Due to continued growth, our client is seeking an experienced Director of Construction to provide operational leadership, mentorship, and strategic support across its construction management team.

This executive leadership role is designed for a seasoned construction professional who excels at developing people, improving operational consistency, removing obstacles for project teams, and partnering with executive leadership to drive organizational success. Unlike a traditional operations role, this position does not carry direct project management responsibilities. Instead, the Director of Construction serves as a trusted resource and leader for the company's Project Managers and field leadership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide leadership, guidance, and mentorship to Project Managers and construction leadership teams.
  • Support Project Managers throughout the lifecycle of their projects by helping resolve operational challenges and identifying solutions.
  • Promote consistency in project planning, execution, reporting, and communication across the organization.
  • Collaborate with executive leadership to improve construction operations, processes, and overall project delivery.
  • Assist with staffing, workload balancing, and resource planning across multiple active projects.
  • Review project schedules, budgets, and operational performance to identify trends and opportunities for improvement.
  • Help mitigate project risks by providing strategic guidance and operational support.
  • Foster strong collaboration between operations, preconstruction, estimating, and executive leadership.
  • Promote a culture centered on safety, accountability, quality, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
  • Support the professional development and coaching of Project Managers while helping establish best practices across the organization.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with clients, design professionals, subcontractors, and key industry partners.

Qualifications

  • 15+ years of progressive commercial construction experience with significant leadership responsibility.
  • Demonstrated success leading, mentoring, and developing Project Managers and construction teams.
  • Strong understanding of commercial construction operations, scheduling, budgeting, contracts, and project delivery.
  • Proven ability to solve complex operational challenges while supporting multiple project teams.
  • Excellent leadership, communication, coaching, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to influence and collaborate across all levels of an organization.
  • Bachelor's degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Architecture, or a related discipline is preferred.

Why This Opportunity

  • Confidential executive search with a financially strong and highly respected contractor.
  • Opportunity to serve as a strategic leader focused on developing people and improving operations rather than managing individual projects.
  • Collaborative executive leadership team committed to operational excellence and continuous improvement.
  • Strong backlog of commercial construction projects and long-term organizational stability.
  • Competitive executive compensation package, annual bonus, comprehensive benefits, and outstanding long-term career growth.

Confidentiality

All inquiries and candidate information will be handled with the strictest confidentiality. Company details and additional information will be shared only after an initial conversation and mutual interest have been established.
