Job Title:

Steel Operations Consultant – Build Scalable Systems for a Growing Erection Company (90-Day Project)

Location: Remote/Field Hybrid — Texas-based preferred
Type: Contract / Consultant (Flexible Hours, 90-Day Project)
Compensation: $10,000–$15,000 (based on scope + experience)
Future Opportunity: Potential to grow into full-time leadership or equity-based operations role

About Us

We’re a Texas-based steel erection firm specializing in PEMB and structural steel, with a reputation for precision, performance, and strong GC relationships. As we enter our next phase of growth, we’re investing in the internal systems and leadership structure needed to scale intentionally and profitably.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a seasoned construction operations consultant to build the systems that support scale — job costing, scheduling, billing, profitability tracking, and more. This is a high-impact, 90-day engagement, working directly with the owner and field leadership.

For the right person, this could evolve into a full-time upper management or long-term fractional operations role with profit share or equity potential.

🔧 What You’ll Own

Perform an operational audit + design system rollout plan
Build:
- Job cost tracking + labor/equipment reporting
- Billing schedules, pay app & lien processes
- Change order log + documentation SOP
- Mobilization-to-closeout workflows
Set up practical, scalable tools (Google Sheets, Trello, QuickBooks, etc.)
Train internal team on using + maintaining systems
Optional: help review contracts, collections, and forecasting process

✅ Ideal Candidates

You’ve already helped a subcontractor go from chaos to control. You’re fluent in field and finance, and you know what systems are worth building and what’s just noise.

You might be:

A former COO, Director of Operations, or PM Lead at a steel or PEMB subcontractor
A construction systems consultant who’s helped $1M–$10M subs stabilize and scale
A senior PM or estimator with hands-on system-building experience ready to lead from the top

You must:

Have experience building job costing, billing, scheduling, and field control systems
Bring proven templates or tools you’ve built and used successfully
Be comfortable building hands-on with a lean team
Have experience working directly with ownership and foremen
Communicate clearly and execute reliably

➕ Bonus Points For:

Texas market knowledge or regional GC experience
Familiarity with QuickBooks, Buildertrend, Procore, or Notion
Desire to grow into a full-time leadership or fractional equity-track role

💵 Compensation

Project-based: $10,000–$15,000 depending on experience and deliverables
Flexible hours (10–20/week) based on milestone execution
Travel expenses covered if onsite time is needed
Long-term role with upper management or equity potential available for the right fit

Compensation: $10,000.00 - $15,000.00 per hour
