About the role

Interim Vice President of Operations – Leading Utility Construction Services Company – Private Equity Our client is a leading, private equity-backed utility services and infrastructure construction company providing critical repair, maintenance, replacement, and construction services for a broad range of utility customers across the country. We are seeking an interim operations leader to provide industry expertise and support for a leading underground utility construction services platform. This is not a “boardroom-only” leadership role. The ideal candidate has a background as a field-oriented operator who has thrived in fast-paced, execution-driven environments, who understands the realities of utility contracting, project management and field leadership, and who is energized by rolling up their sleeves to improve performance, mentor teams, strengthen customer relationships, and drive accountability throughout the organization. Your background will include experience in the utility construction and service sector, including gas, electric, water, and telecom, renewables, etc. The Interim Vice President of Operations will partner closely with ownership and the executive team to execute a strategic operational turnaround with a focus on driving operational excellence, safety, profitability, and customer satisfaction across multiple regions and service lines. An attractive compensation package is on offer for this role, including performance-based incentives.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
