Job Description
CONFIDENTIAL- Executive Leadership Opportunity
📍 Greater Indianapolis Area | 💼 Full-Time | 🏗οΈ Commercial, Industrial, Higher Ed Construction
About the Opportunity:
A well-established and growing general contractor in the Greater Indianapolis area is seeking a strategic and entrepreneurial leader to join their team in a senior executive role. This position offers a clear path to company ownership as part of a long-term succession plan from the current President.
This is a rare opportunity for a seasoned professional who wants to take their leadership to the next level by becoming an owner of a respected, client-focused construction firm with a strong presence in the Commercial, Industrial, and Higher Education markets.
Company Snapshot (Confidential):
- Typical project values up to $10M
- $50M+ in annual revenue
- Trusted by a deep base of repeat clients
- Lean, high-performing team of ~12 full-time employees
- Active in commercial, industrial, and institutional markets
- Strategic growth plans over the next decade
Key Responsibilities:
- Partner directly with the current President to learn and transition into full executive leadership
- Shape and execute company strategy, operations, and business development
- Lead project teams, mentor staff, and cultivate long-term client relationships
- Gradually assume full P&L ownership and ultimately take over as company President and Owner
Ideal Candidate Profile:
- 15+ years of experience in commercial construction, ideally within the Commercial, Industrial, or Higher Ed sectors
- Strong design-build expertise with the ability to guide teams from preconstruction through completion
- Proven success in business development, operations, and executive leadership
- Entrepreneurial mindset with a long-term vision for ownership
- Passionate about team development, culture, and client service
- Based in or willing to relocate to the Greater Indianapolis area
Compensation:
- Competitive base salary
- Significant upside with bonus potential up to 300% of base salary, tied to performance and company success
- Long-term ownership opportunity
Why This Role Stands Out:
β Clearly defined path to President/Owner
β Strong financials and client relationships
β Opportunity to shape the next chapter of a respected contractor
β Confidential, high-trust search with long-term upside
