About The Position

An established and highly respected Atlanta-based general contractor is seeking an Executive Vice President to launch and lead its Commercial Construction Division. This is a rare opportunity to build a new business line without the risks of starting from scratch. The company has already established a successful construction platform with over $55 million in annual revenue, a seasoned operations team, strong financial backing, established systems, and an excellent reputation in the marketplace. Now, ownership is investing in the next phase of growth by expanding into broader commercial construction, with a long-term vision of building a $200M+ organization. If you've always wanted to build something of your own—but with the support, infrastructure, and capital already in place—this is that opportunity. The Executive Vice President will serve as the founding leader of the company's Commercial Construction Division. This executive will develop the division's strategy, cultivate client relationships, recruit and mentor high-performing teams, and drive profitable growth across targeted commercial markets. Success in this role requires equal parts entrepreneur, business developer, operator, and leader. This position offers significant influence over the future direction of the company, with performance-based incentives designed to reward long-term growth and value creation.

Responsibilities
