Job Description

Posted on: July 16, 2026

We are seeking a high-caliber Entrepreneurial Leader and Steel Door & Hardware Specialist.

This is not a traditional management role; we are looking for a visionary professional with the drive and autonomy to set the foundation for our regional growth.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Precision Estimating & Pre-Construction

  • Prepare accurate bids, take-offs, and proposals (RFQs/RFPs) for both commercial and residential sectors.
  • Review drawings and specifications to understand full scope, risks, and requirements across architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical documents.
  • Solicit and evaluate subcontractor/supplier pricing and provide value engineering input to minimize risk exposure.
  • Support tender submissions, clarifications, and post-tender activities.

2. Project Management & Scheduling

  • Lead project meetings and site visits, ensuring company policies and procedures are followed.
  • Oversee project execution, including scheduling, procurement, and coordination of field workers.
  • Work closely with General Contractors to meet milestones and provide necessary resources.
  • Monitor the construction plan and ensure all documentation and billing are completed in a timely manner.

3. Strategic Business & Operational Leadership

  • Commercial Expansion: Actively develop the client portfolio to achieve sales and growth targets.
  • Operational Excellence: Supervise daily operations, including logistics, inventory, regulatory compliance, and facility safety.
  • Contractual Integrity: Assist in contract preparation and lead the negotiation of changes, revisions, and additions as the business scales.

Qualifications:

  • Deep Technical Expertise in Steel Doors & Hardware: Expert-level knowledge of hollow metal doors, frames, and architectural hardware. This includes a mastery of fire-rating requirements, life safety codes, and the ability to interpret complex hardware schedules and electrified opening requirements.
  • Entrepreneurial Mindset: A self-starter with the ambition to build and lead a regional presence. You must be comfortable with both granular technical details and high-level business development.
  • Advanced Technical Literacy: Extensive background in reviewing and identifying discrepancies within architectural, structural, and MEP documents.

Benefits:

  • Casual dress
  • Dental care
  • Employee assistance program
  • Extended health care
  • Life insurance
  • Paid time off
