The central accountability of the COO is performance: delivering projects on schedule, at or above budgeted margin, and without compromise to safety or quality. The successful candidate will be responsible for translating awarded backlog and pipeline into realized revenue and EBITDA — driving asset utilization, managing multi-project operational complexity, managing KPIs, and holding division leaders accountable to plan.
