Requirements 10 years in a related industry (service or commercial construction), with at least 3 in a leadership role. Proven track record of managing multiple construction/installation/service crews and leaders.

Working knowledge of lean construction, JIT manufacturing, or other operational efficiency models preferred. Ability to balance field pragmatism with executive-level strategy.
