General Manager

General Manager

Electrical & Generator Contractor

LOCATION Southeastern MA / Rhode Island, on site

COMPENSATION $150,000 to $220,000 for fully loaded compensation

The Opportunity

A well established, award winning electrical contractor in Southern New England is hiring a General Manager. The business runs three divisions: commercial and industrial construction, electrical service, and generator sales, installation, and planned maintenance. It has a strong reputation, a loyal customer base, and a solid recurring service book.

This is the top operating seat in the company. The President is looking for a leader who can own the business day to day, build a leadership team that runs without everything flowing through one person, and position the company for its next chapter. Real authority, real accountability.

What You Will Own

• Full P&L responsibility across construction, service, and generator divisions
• Leading and developing the division managers and building a strong second layer of leadership
• Setting operating goals, budgets, and KPIs, and holding the team to them
• Financial visibility: job costing, WIP, forecasting, and clean monthly reporting with the finance team
• Documenting how the business runs so knowledge lives in systems, not in people
• Growing the recurring service and generator maintenance base
• Owning key customer, GC, and vendor relationships
• Protecting and building on a strong safety record

What You Bring

• 10+ years in electrical, mechanical, or specialty contracting, with 5+ as a GM, VP Operations, or division leader
• Experience running a multi division business, ideally construction plus service
• Strong financial fluency: P&L ownership, WIP, job costing, and margin management
• A track record of building structure, process, and leadership teams
• Generator, power systems, or service contract experience is a strong plus
• Master or Journeyman electrician license is a plus, not a requirement

Who Thrives Here

• Humble. You lead from the front, give the crew credit, and own the misses.
• Hungry. You see what needs fixing and start on it without being asked.
• People smart. You can read a room, whether it is a foreman on a jobsite or a facilities director in a boardroom, and adjust.

Why This Role

• A respected company with a 30+ year track record
• The top operating seat, with a President ready to hand over real authority
• A chance to shape the company for its next chapter
