Director of People & Administrative Operations

We are a rapidly growing Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) manufacturer and erection company delivering high-quality steel building solutions from design through installation. After a year of rapid expansion, we’re ready to take the next step — building stronger systems, clearer communication, and a more empowered team.

We’re looking for a Director of People & Operations who can help us bring structure to our growth — managing our staff, improving our processes, and making sure every person and project is set up for success.

About the Role

The Director of People & Operations is a key leadership position responsible for managing our office and administrative teams in our three offices, overseeing recruitment and onboarding, and ensuring company-wide accountability and alignment.

You’ll work closely with the CEO and department heads to create clarity around roles, performance expectations, and organizational priorities. This isn’t a traditional HR role — it’s a hands-on leadership position focused on building operational discipline, improving communication, and fostering a positive, high-performing culture.

What You’ll Do

• Lead, mentor, and manage all office and administrative staff.
• Develop and maintain clear job descriptions and accountability systems.
• Oversee recruiting, interviewing, hiring, onboarding, and training for all new team members.
• Partner with leadership to design and implement performance review and feedback processes.
• Support managers in navigating performance conversations, promotions, and terminations.
• Improve operational workflows, policies, and communication channels across departments.
• Ensure smooth coordination between manufacturing, project, and office teams.
• Maintain compliance with company policies and employment standards.
• Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and VP of Operations on staffing, structure, and team culture.

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of experience in administrative operations, people management, or business administration roles.
• Background in construction, manufacturing, or engineering environments strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to manage teams, improve systems, and build accountability structures.
• Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail and follow-through.
• Ability to balance people-first leadership with operational efficiency.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations, HR, or related field (MBA a plus).

Why Join Us

• Be part of a rapidly growing company with huge opportunity to make an impact.
• Work directly with executive leadership to shape the next phase of our business.
• Competitive salary.
• Supportive, team-oriented culture that values initiative and ownership.
• Opportunity to build systems and teams from the ground up.
