Our client is a rapidly growing structural steel and miscellaneous metals organization operating as part of a larger North American steel platform with integrated fabrication and installation operations across multiple affiliated companies.

 

With capabilities spanning estimating, engineering, fabrication, delivery, and installation, the organization supports commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects throughout New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. The company combines the stability and resources of a larger enterprise with the flexibility and culture of a locally managed leadership team.

 

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior-level structural steel Project Manager ready to step into a broader operational leadership role within an expanding organization focused on process improvement, accountability, collaboration, and long-term growth.

 

 

The Opportunity

 

The Director of Operations will oversee a team of Project Managers while helping drive operational consistency, communication, and execution across the business.

 

This role is ideal for someone who understands the full lifecycle of steel fabrication and installation projects and is ready to transition from project execution into operational leadership.

 

The organization utilizes EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) principles and modern operational systems designed to support scalability, leadership development, and operational excellence.

 

This is not a sales-focused role. The company is seeking a calm, highly organized operational leader who thrives in structured environments and enjoys mentoring teams, improving systems, and driving accountability.

 

 

What We Are Seeking
  • 10+ years of structural steel industry experience
  • Strong project management background within steel fabrication and/or miscellaneous metals
  • Experience overseeing or mentoring multiple Project Managers
  • Operational leadership and organizational management skills
  • Strong communication and interpersonal abilities
  • Process-driven and systems-oriented mindset
  • Ability to collaborate across fabrication, production, estimating, and installation teams
  • Engineering or technical construction background preferred
  • Experience within both GC and steel subcontractor environments is highly desirable

  

Responsibilities
  • Lead and mentor Project Managers across multiple projects
  • Oversee operational execution throughout New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania
  • Support coordination between fabrication and field installation operations
  • Improve and maintain operational processes and procedures
  • Collaborate with estimating, production, and leadership teams
  • Participate in operational planning and leadership initiatives
  • Maintain accountability, communication, and project standards across the organization

 

Culture & Environment 

 

The organization offers a collaborative, growth-oriented environment focused on:
  • operational excellence
  • professionalism
  • accountability
  • respectful communication
  • leadership development.

 

 

The company values team-oriented leadership and maintains a strong culture of collaboration through annual leadership events, conferences, and team-building activities.

 

This environment is best suited for leaders who are:

 
  • calm under pressure
  • highly organized
  • collaborative
  • growth-minded
  • operationally disciplined.

 

 

 

Compensation & Benefits
  • Compensation package approximately $150K–$190K all-in
  • Strong healthcare benefits program
  • Company-supported healthcare deductible coverage
  • Fleet vehicles available for business travel
  • PTO package including:
  • 2 weeks’ vacation
  • 5 PTO days initially
  • expanded vacation structure with tenure
  • Long-term leadership growth opportunity within an expanding organization

 

 

If you are a senior structural Steel Project Manager seeking the next step into operational leadership, we would welcome a confidential conversation.

 

Please apply here to learn more. We look forward to hearing from you.
