My client is a well-established, privately held commercial construction firm with nearly 90 years in the industry.

With veteran leadership and a deep bench of in-house technical expertise, they've built lasting relationships with clients and partners across the Midwest.

Why join us?

This is a unique opportunity to serve as the face of the company in the Milwaukee market, building relationships, driving growth, and shaping the office's long-term strategy.

• A diversified, self-performing capability that sets projects up for success from day one
• A close-knit, relationship-driven culture built over nearly a century in business

• Competitive base salary ($150K–$200K, based on experience) + performance-based bonus
• Full benefits package, 401(k), and generous PTO

• Serve as the primary representative of the company within the Milwaukee market, building strong relationships and expanding market presence

• Coordinate with functional leaders to mentor regional team members and drive accountability across the office
