Lead ve with Purpose. Build What Lasts.

The Director of Construction – National Accounts provides executive leadership for a high‑volume national HVAC construction program executed across numerous active sites.

This leader will oversee our national construction team— including Project Managers and Project Coordinators and serve as the senior construction partner to a major national client. You will ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and aligned with contractual and quality expectations.

Success in this role requires more than operational strength. It requires a stewardship‑oriented leader who builds on what exists, earns trust quickly, listens first, and strengthens teams rather than reshaping them for personal recognition. We are looking for a leader who values collaboration over spotlight, accountability over ego, and long‑term impact over short‑term visibility.

This position is eligible for full benefits, including medical, dental, vision, paid time off, and retirement options.

• Lead, mentor, and develop a geographically dispersed national construction team (Project Managers and Project Coordinators)
• Serve as senior escalation point and trusted advisor to national client stakeholders
• Provide executive oversight of a large multi‑site HVAC construction portfolio
• Ensure performance across safety, schedule, budget, quality, and compliance standards
• Strengthen and scale a high‑performing national subcontractor and supplier network
• Partner with teams on risk management, forecasting, change evaluation, and issue resolution
• Advance standardized project management processes while respecting institutional knowledge
• Foster a people‑first culture grounded in accountability, transparency, and mutual respect
• Contribute to long‑term strategic planning and sustainable portfolio growth

• 10+ years of construction management experience with strong HVAC exposure
• 5+ years leading multi‑site or national construction teams
• Experience managing large, complex construction portfolios
• Strong financial and operational acumen
• High emotional intelligence and exceptional relationship‑building skills
• A leadership style grounded in stewardship, humility, and accountability
• Bachelor’s degree in construction management, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)

PMP or related certifications and enterprise‑level client experience are a plus.

This is a high‑impact leadership opportunity within a collaborative, experienced organization. The right leader will not only drive execution excellence — they will strengthen culture, deepen client trust, and help guide the next phase of responsible growth.
