Teague Electric has built a reputation for quality, precision, and reliability for over 40 years in Kansas City. We are now accelerating the growth of our commercial construction division and looking for a high-impact leader to take it to the next level.

This is not a maintenance role. This is a growth role. We need a proven operator who can lead people, drive revenue, strengthen relationships, improve execution, and build a high-performing commercial division that clients notice.

If you know how to grow teams, win work, hold people accountable, increase profitability, and create momentum, this role was built for you.

Position Summary
The Director of Commercial Electrical Construction will lead and scale Teague’s commercial construction operations. This individual will oversee project execution, estimating partnership, field performance, client relationships, business development efforts, and departmental profitability.

Build accountability, urgency, and high performance across project managers, estimators, and field teams
Establish measurable goals tied to revenue, margin, backlog, productivity, and customer satisfaction
Scale the department in a meaningful way; people, revenue, and market presence, not just maintain it

Operational Excellence

Ensure jobs are staffed properly, managed efficiently, and delivered profitably
Monitor schedules, manpower, productivity, change orders, risk, and financial performance
Identify inefficiencies and implement smarter systems and workflows

Identify, pursue, and help to close new commercial opportunities across target markets
Support pursuit strategy, key presentations, negotiations, and deal closing
Elevate Teague’s commercial brand in the market

Financial Leadership

Own full departmental P&L, including budgeting, forecasting, and performance against growth targets
Set financial goals and hold the team accountable to achieving them
Drive improvements in gross margin, labor productivity, and backlog quality
Operate with a business-owner mindset, balancing growth, risk, and profitability

Team Culture & Standards

Lead with presence, urgency, and accountability
Inspire teams to raise the bar and expect more from themselves
Coach underperformers, develop high performers, and build bench strength

What We’re Looking For

10+ years of leadership experience in commercial construction; electrical contracting strongly preferred
Proven leadership experience managing multi-layered teams (project managers, estimators, and field teams), ideally ~50 employees
Strong understanding of commercial construction project lifecycles, estimating, field operations, and customer management
Track record of leading growth initiatives, expanding revenue, backlog, or market presence in a meaningful way

Competitive, ambitious, and motivated to build something elite

Preferred Background

Commercial electrical contracting leadership experience

Experience scaling a department, division, or business unit (not just maintaining steady-state operations)
