Job Description:

Director of Electrical Power Solutions | Executive Leadership

 

Step into a rare opportunity to lead and scale a thriving business unit that blends electrical engineering, industrial field services, and workplace safety. As Director of Electrical Power Solutions, you’ll guide an already high-performing team through its next stage of growth, driving operational excellence, and mentoring technical professionals. This is more than an executive leadership role, it’s a chance to shape a division with real ownership and long-term impact.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • High-Impact Leadership: You’ll be at the helm of a business-critical division, leading strategic growth, optimizing operations, and inspiring a multidisciplinary team
  • The Team Is Ready: With engineers, safety trainers, and field technicians already in place, your role is to build on their momentum and expand the division’s reach
  • Outstanding Compensation: $150,000–$200,000, performance bonus, 3% 401(k) contribution, equity through 100% employee ownership (ESOP), and robust PTO and healthcare benefits

Your Focus:

As Director, you’ll oversee day-to-day operations, team development, and long-term planning for a 20-person division delivering:

  • Arc Flash Studies & Compliance (NFPA 70E)
  • Electrical Safety Training
  • Electrical Engineering & Design Services
  • Field Services & Data Collection

You’ll:

  • Lead the division’s business strategy, team performance, and service line expansion
  • Coach and grow a manageable team of ~20 members
  • Manage division P&L, forecasts, and resource planning
  • Drive collaboration across design, training, and field operations
  • Represent the division in key client and executive meetings

What You Bring:

  • 10+ years of progressive leadership in engineering, construction, or industrial services
  • Demonstrated success leading teams, managing business operations, and driving results
  • Strong executive presence with the ability to engage both internal teams and external clients
  • Understanding of, or willingness to learn, arc flash compliance, NFPA 70E, and electrical system safety
  • A strategic mindset with hands-on execution ability

Preferred but Not Required:

  • Degree in electrical engineering or PE license
  • Experience in industrial manufacturing or plant services
  • Familiarity with BIM, 3D modeling, or systems integration
  • Business development or technical sales background

Location:

This role is based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. On-site leadership is essential to maintain team connection, operational oversight, and client responsiveness.

What You Get:

  • Base Salary: $150,000–$200,000
  • Performance Bonus
  • Employee ownership
  • 401(k) contribution
  • Medical, dental, vision, disability, and wellness benefits
  • Paid time off + parental leave
  • Leadership development and learning opportunities

Lead a Team That’s Ready to Grow
If you’re a strategic and hands-on leader ready to elevate a well-positioned team, this is your chance to make an immediate impact. You’ll work closely with technical experts who are deeply invested in their work, and in your leadership.
