About the Company

The company is one of the largest Midwestern contractord specializing in the restoration of aging structures and the waterproofing of new construction.

About the Position

The company is seeking a Regional Director to lead its Cleveland office and broader Ohio operations.

The Regional Director will have full accountability for the region’s performance, including sales growth, operations, financial results, talent development, and client relationships. This role offers the opportunity to run an autonomous business unit while leveraging the resources, reputation, and expertise of a well-established national organization.

The Regional Director will lead a team of Project Managers, Estimators, Project Engineers, Superintendents, a Warehouse Manager, and Administrative staff, and will oversee union field labor represented by Bricklayers, Laborers, Cement Masons, Roofers, and Operating Engineers.
