Division Manager/Project Executive, Construction & Energy (Confidential) | Reno, NV or anywhere with airport access

Run a business, not just a project. This Division Manager owns the full P&L of an energy construction division: the annual plan, the cash flow, the backlog and the team on each project.

The company. Our client is a 100% employee-owned national specialty contractor with more than a century in business, more than 10,000 employees and multi-billion-dollar annual revenue. Its energy group builds the infrastructure that generates, stores and delivers power, and ranks among the leading renewable EPC firms in the country.

The market. Power demand is climbing on the back of data centers, electrification and domestic manufacturing. Meeting it takes every source: solar, wind, battery storage, natural gas, nuclear, hydro and hydrogen, plus the substations and high voltage lines that move power to the grid. The group works today in solar, storage, substation and high voltage scopes, with a mandate that is broadening across high-demand energy markets.

Who this fits. Renewable Energy EPC, Commercial Construction or Electrical Contracting. Your title today may be Project Executive, Senior Project Executive, Operations Manager, Regional Manager or Division Manager. What matters is that you have run large projects or a business unit with direct accountability for financial results. This role carries the Division Manager title. If you hold a VP title today, we are glad to walk you through how the scope, ownership economics and runway compare.
