Regional Vice President (Southeast)

Location: Atlanta, GA; Franklin, TN; or Nashville, TN

Compensation: $250,000 - $300,000 Base Salary + Annual Performance Incentive Bonus + Comprehensive Executive Benefits  

About the Opportunity

Workspire is partnering with a premier, national leader in the industrial construction lifecycle to spearhead their Southeast expansion. Our client provides critical infrastructure solutions to thousands of customers across the United States, operating with a philosophy designed to support employees from "hire to retire". They are an organization grounded in core values that demand acting with urgency, leading with integrity, and consistently exceeding expectations.

In this highly strategic executive role, you will be the driving force behind the Southeast Region's infrastructure and growth. We are seeking a visionary yet deeply operational leader capable of balancing hyper-growth with disciplined execution. You will not just manage a territory; you will build a robust leadership bench, diversify revenue streams, and cultivate a culture of excellence that powers the critical infrastructure of the region.

You Will Do

• Scale Regional Operations:
• Within your first 12 months, establish the foundational leadership infrastructure by recruiting and onboarding localized Area Managers (each capable of owning a $30M to $150M P&L) to drive toward a regional revenue target of $500MM to $1B.
• Drive Strategic Diversification:
• Successfully expand service line revenue beyond the dominant electrical and mission-critical base by strategically penetrating adjacent markets, such as power generation, water/wastewater, soft crafts, and process piping.
• Champion Safety from the Top Down:
• Establish a non-negotiable safety culture utilizing leading indicators, TRIR, and EMR metrics to ensure field execution remains stable and secure.
• Execute with Operational Discipline:
• Drive predictable project delivery by strictly following and executing established corporate Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), rather than spending cycles trying to reinvent centralized processes.
• Turn Integration into Excellence:
• Capitalize on the challenge of unifying differing regional safety cultures and aggressive growth targets by establishing a unified, KPI-driven operating cadence that relies on "managing by the numbers".

What We Are Looking For

• Extensive Leadership Pedigree:
• 15+ years of progressive leadership with significant operational and P&L accountability in industrial services, construction, or energy.
• Numbers-Driven Operator:
• Deep financial acumen with a proven track record of diagnosing margin drivers, accurately forecasting risk, and utilizing data to correct performance.
• Elite Bench Builder:
• A leader with a deep industry network who can recruit top talent and is deeply passionate about mentoring and passing knowledge down to the next generation.
• Executive Presence & Decisiveness:
• Commercial credibility capable of bringing in new work, paired with a bias for action and a clear history of "acting with urgency".
• Highly Collaborative Demeanor:
• We are looking for the relational "glue" of the region; you must be highly confident and results-oriented, but strictly "not a jerk".
• Reference-Backed Track Record:
• Candidates must be able to provide a comprehensive, verifiable reference stack that includes a former client, vendor, peer, and manager.

If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every qualification, we still encourage you to apply.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Strategic Autonomy & Promotion Runway:
• You are building the region's organizational structure from the ground up, with a clear mandate to promote from within—allowing your top-performing Area Managers to actively earn future executive progression.
• Unique Support Infrastructure:
• Your teams will be backed by robust centralized services, including a proprietary leadership development school (Gravitas), comprehensive wellness initiatives, and a unique corporate chaplain program.
• High-Visibility Impact:
• Reporting directly to the Region President, you will have a seat at the table to shape the enterprise's Southeast footprint, directly influencing national strategic planning and capital investment.
