Vice President, Construction

Are you ready to take the next step from senior leadership into running a business and potentially owning part of it?

We are partnering with a well-established and respected Vice President, Construction in Winnipeg that is looking for a strong operational and business leader to step into a key leadership role as the VP/GM transitions into retirement.

This is more than a Leadership role. It is an opportunity to help shape the future of a growing company with a solid reputation, strong relationships, and active work already in the pipeline. The right individual will have the opportunity to make an immediate impact while positioning themselves for future equity or ownership participation.

The Opportunity
The VP/GM will oversee the day-to-day operations of the business while working closely with the leadership team. This individual will provide leadership across operations, project execution, client relationships, financial performance, and strategic growth.

The ideal candidate is someone who has already operated in a senior leadership capacity within construction and understands both the operational and business side of the industry. You are confident in making decisions, adjusting direction when needed, and leading teams through challenges while maintaining strong relationships across the industry.

In a city like Winnipeg, reputation matters. We are looking for someone known for professionalism, integrity, collaboration, and getting projects completed successfully.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

• Leading the overall operations of the business
• Providing strategic direction and operational leadership
• Supporting estimating, project management, scheduling, and execution teams
• Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, consultants, suppliers, and subcontractors
• Driving profitability, efficiency, and sustainable growth
• Monitoring financial performance, forecasting, and operational planning
• Identifying opportunities for improvement and implementing process changes where needed
• Supporting business development initiatives and helping expand market presence
• Leading and mentoring teams while fostering a strong company culture
• Making sound business decisions and pivoting when required in a changing market

What We’re Looking For

• Proven leadership experience within the construction or general contracting industry with a background in estimating and managing commercial/institutional building-related projects.
• Strong understanding of business operations, financial management, and project execution
• Experience leading teams and managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Strong relationships within the Winnipeg construction community
• A reputation for accountability, professionalism, and delivering results
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Entrepreneurial mindset with interest in helping lead and grow a business
• Ability to think strategically while remaining hands-on when needed

What’s Offered

• Exceptional compensation package including bonus structure
• Long-term career growth and succession opportunity
• Potential future ownership or equity participation
• Opportunity to help shape the direction of an established and respected company
• Existing backlog and strong project pipeline
• Leadership autonomy with the ability to put your own stamp on the business

This opportunity is ideal for an experienced construction leader who is ready for the next chapter; someone who wants more than just a job and is motivated by the opportunity to help lead and eventually build ownership in a successful Winnipeg-based business.
