About The Position

The Director of Technology & Innovation is a dual-focus role designed to bridge the gap between traditional IT infrastructure and market-leading service delivery.

This role ensures that ERP (accounting, dispatch, work order lifecycle, AR/AP, reporting) operates securely and accurately. System access aligns with Human Resources onboarding and clearance controls. Recruitment, screening, and employment governance systems remain protected. Departmental systems across Operations, Finance, Sales, and Human Resources function within documented authority boundaries. Financial measurement and internal control integrity are preserved. Our field technicians, estimators, and project managers have the most advanced tools available, while simultaneously vetting and implementing client-facing technologies—such as advanced building automation, IoT monitoring, and integrated service platforms—that set us apart from the competition. The Director of Technology and Innovation governs infrastructure, cybersecurity, ERP configuration controls, data integrity, vendor management, and disaster recovery planning.
