The Operations Manager serves as a central point of coordination across Project Managers, field personnel, dispatch, equipment, estimating, and office staff, ensuring operational priorities are communicated clearly, resources remain aligned, and issues are identified and addressed before they impact production.

Process Improvement & Communication

Strengthening communication and collaboration between field operations, project management, and leadership.

Coordinate recurring operational meetings and ensure decisions are communicated and followed through.

Recommend process improvements that increase efficiency, consistency, and accountability.

Qualifications
