Prevail Recruiting • Phoenix, AZ

About The Position

We're partnering with a well-established, employee-owned heavy civil contractor in the Phoenix area that's entering its next phase of growth. This isn't a traditional estimating leadership position.

This role will have executive-level visibility, report directly to the COO, and play a major role in improving profitability across the organization. The company is targeting significant growth over the next several years and wants someone who enjoys building systems, developing leaders, and creating long-term operational improvements—not simply maintaining what's already in place.
