Job description
Salt Lake City, UTUp to $200,000 + performance bonus + full benefits package
Build the skyline. Shape the standard. Lead the craft.
Salt Lake City is growing fast, and not just in square footage, but in ambition. We’re looking for a Director of Construction who doesn’t just manage projects, but orchestrates them like a conductor with a steel-toed baton. Someone who can walk onto a jobsite, read the rhythm of the build, and instantly know what needs to tighten, speed up, or elevate.
This is a senior leadership role for a construction professional who thrives in complexity, leads with clarity, and knows how to turn plans on paper into places people are proud to live, work, and gather in.
What you’ll lead
You’ll oversee multiple active projects across preconstruction, field execution, and closeout. Think of yourself as the bridge between strategy and dirt‑under‑the‑boots reality.
Full oversight of construction operations from groundbreaking through turnover
Leadership of Superintendents, Project Managers, and field teams across multiple sites
Budget ownership, cost control, forecasting, and risk management
Scheduling mastery across concurrent, fast‑moving builds
Coordination with owners, architects, engineers, and key trade partners
Implementation of consistent quality, safety, and performance standards
Strategic input during preconstruction and project pursuit phases
Continuous improvement of construction systems, processes, and team performance
What you bring to the table
You’ve been in the field long enough to know that no two builds behave the same, but you’ve also learned how to bring order to the chaos.
10+ years in commercial construction, with increasing leadership responsibility
Proven success managing large‑scale or multi‑project portfolios
Deep understanding of construction sequencing, means and methods, and field logistics
Strong financial acumen with experience managing multimillion‑dollar budgets
A leadership style that is firm, fair, and grounded in accountability
Ability to communicate clearly across executives, clients, and boots‑on‑the‑ground teams
Calm decision‑making when the schedule starts trying to write its own rules
Why this role stands out
This isn’t a “maintain the status quo” position. This is a build‑it‑better, scale‑it‑smarter, lead‑it‑forward opportunity.
High‑impact leadership role with executive visibility
Opportunity to shape construction standards across a growing organization
Competitive compensation up to $200K
Bonus potential tied to performance and project success
Strong pipeline of diverse, complex projects in the Salt Lake City market
A culture that respects field expertise and rewards ownership
The kind of leader we’re looking for
Someone who can stand in the middle of a jobsite at sunrise, watch crews move like a coordinated ecosystem, and feel both responsibility and pride in keeping it all aligned. A leader who knows that great construction isn’t just built, it’s guided, protected, and relentlessly refined.
If you’re ready to take ownership of big work and even bigger expectations in one of the fastest‑growing construction markets in the Mountain West, this is your stage.
