Job Title: Fractional COO / Operations Consultant – Steel Erection Specialist

Location: Texas-based preferred, remote/field hybrid okay
Type: Part-Time / Fractional (10–20 hrs/week, 90-day project-based with potential to extend)
Compensation: $3,000–$6,000/month or flat-fee project depending on experience
Start Date: Immediate

About Us:

We’re a hungry and growing steel erection company specializing in PEMB and structural steel. We’ve got crews, equipment, and grit — but now we’re hitting the limit of what hustle alone can do.

We’re looking for a battle-tested operator who has built subcontractor operations before and knows how to install real systems: cash flow, job costing, scheduling, billing, and execution tracking. If you’ve taken a steel or construction company from messy to money — we want to talk.

What We Need You to Do (The Mission):
You’ll come in and build from the inside out:

🔧 Phase 1: Diagnose & Prioritize

Audit current jobs, cash flow cycle, and cost leaks
Identify top-5 system failures killing time or money
Create a roadmap to fix them fast and sustainably

🏗️ Phase 2: Build Real Systems

Create SOPs for job kickoff, invoicing, pay apps, lien tracking
Build out job cost tracking dashboards (labor, materials, rentals, COs)
Create change order, scheduling, and profit tracking systems
Redline contracts and build templates to avoid getting squeezed by GCs

📦 Phase 3: Transfer & Train

Train owner + 1 office/field person to maintain everything
Set up tracking tools in Google Sheets / QuickBooks / Trello (or similar)
Lay foundation for long-term growth and future hires

Non-Negotiable Experience:

Has built backend systems for a subcontractor (steel erection, PEMB, or self-perform crews)
Understands job costing, billing cycles, pay apps, and field coordination
Knows GC contracts, lien laws, and how subs get squeezed
Comfortable with lean teams, getting in the weeds, and building as you go
Has sample SOPs/templates or can show previous systems built

Nice-to-Haves:

Texas-based or familiar with regional GC practices
Worked with QuickBooks, Google Sheets, Procore, or Buildertrend
Able to grow into full-time or equity-holding ops leader if it’s a good fit
Background in field or field/office hybrid role (understands ironwork reality)

Comp & Terms:

Starting at $3,000–$6,000/month, based on scope and experience
Open to flat-fee project model for 90-day buildout
Strong performance could lead to full-time or leadership seat

Compensation: $3,000.00 - $6,000.00 per month
