About the position

At MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions (“MacMiller”), we are dedicated to making buildings work better. As the Northwest's leading mechanical contracting firm, we specialize in designing, delivering, and servicing HVAC, plumbing, and automation system solutions for commercial buildings. With over 1500 employees across 15 offices, we offer a diverse range of work that keeps our team engaged and inspired. Our well-respected history is built on exceeding customer expectations and executing projects with distinction. Our clients trust us with their most challenging projects, which include new construction, special projects, service maintenance, and building performance enhancements. In the role of Director of Oregon Construction Operations, you will oversee all production-related activities executed by our construction teams. A critical aspect of this role involves analyzing and interpreting project data to ensure our projects are executed with the highest standards of safety, quality, and productivity, thereby ensuring their profitability.

Additionally, you will be responsible for ensuring that the core values of MacDonald-Miller Facility Solutions—Safety, Innovation, Dedication, Collaboration, Community, and Fun—are integrated into all daily operations. This non-union role reports directly to the General Manager of Oregon, with dotted line responsibility to the VP of Operations and VP of Project Management to ensure standardization and operations across divisions and regions are maintained. Your first-year deliverables will include collaborating with regional and divisional leadership to ensure profitability and financial success of construction projects, managing operations staff, and overseeing new construction trade General Foremen, senior project managers, and the special projects operations manager.
