Location: Texas

Travel: Regional travel required

Employment Type: Full-time | Leadership | P&L ownership

Role Overview

A rapidly growing, utility-focused power services organization is seeking a Regional Manager to lead and scale operations within a defined territory. This role is designed for a technically credible leader who is ready to own regional growth, operational execution, and financial performance.

This is not a senior technician or lead relay role. While a strong foundation in utility Protection & Control is essential for credibility, the position is centered on business development, operational leadership, and P&L accountability.

The Regional Manager is responsible for translating technical credibility into customer trust, backlog growth, and disciplined execution.

Key Responsibilities

Regional Leadership & Strategy

• Own overall regional performance including revenue, margin, utilization, safety, and customer satisfaction.
• Develop and execute regional growth strategies aligned with utility demand and internal capacity.
• Serve as the senior regional representative to utilities, EPCs, and strategic partners.

Business Development & Client Engagement

• Lead regional business development efforts and key account expansion.
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with utility stakeholders and decision-makers.
• Partner with executive leadership on pursuit strategy, pricing discipline, and backlog forecasting.

Operational Oversight

• Ensure awarded work is staffed, supported, and executed safely and profitably.
• Align manpower with demand in capacity-constrained environments.
• Identify execution risk early and course-correct before impacting margin or customer trust.

Financial & P&L Ownership

• Full responsibility for regional P&L.
• Monitor cost structure, pricing, utilization, and margin performance.
• Contribute to annual planning, forecasting, and long-range growth strategy.

People Leadership

• Support hiring, development, and retention of field leadership and technical teams.
• Act as an escalation point while empowering teams to operate autonomously.
• Reinforce a safety-first, accountability-driven culture.

Required Background & Experience

• Strong working knowledge of utility Protection & Control, relay testing, commissioning, or substation operations.
• Experience in a utility, utility contractor, EPC, or utility-facing power services environment.
• Demonstrated progression from technical execution into leadership, supervision, or commercial responsibility.
• Comfortable engaging utilities directly and representing the company in high-visibility environments.

Note: Active lead relay vetting or hands-on testing is not required, but technical fluency is critical.

Preferred Experience

• Prior regional, business unit, or multi-project leadership responsibility.
• Exposure to budgeting, forecasting, or financial accountability.
• Experience scaling teams in high-demand, resource-constrained environments.
• Background transitioning from technical roles into operations or commercial leadership.

Compensation & Benefits

This organization differentiates itself with a best-in-class benefits structure that materially outperforms typical power services and utility contractor offerings.

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Includes family coverage at no additional cost.
• 401(k) with company match
• Company vehicle with fuel card or vehicle stipend option.
• Per diem structure designed so employees never lose money on travel
• Paid 7 days per week while on assignment.
• All required PPE, tools, and safety equipment provided
• Leadership team with deep field and utility backgrounds that actively supports execution.
• Long-term stability with strong utility backlog and national growth trajectory.

For senior leaders accustomed to high out-of-pocket healthcare costs or diluted benefit plans, this is a meaningful total compensation differentiator.

Personal Attributes

• Credible with technical teams and respected by utility stakeholders.
• Commercially minded with strong judgment and execution discipline.
• Comfortable owning outcomes, making tradeoffs, and holding teams accountable.
• Motivated by building regions and long-term performance, not individual projects.

Why This Role

• High-demand utility work with strong backlog visibility.
• True regional authority with direct impact on growth and profitability.
• Executive leadership grounded in real utility and field experience.
• Platform role with long-term advancement as the organization scales.
