Construction Operations Manager

The mission of this role

SOV Construction is looking for an Operations Manager who can run our daily field operations: plan the day, dispatch crews to the right sites, stage materials, track what gets done, and push projects to completion—so our work stays on schedule and the team produces consistent, high-quality results. This role is the “engine room” of our construction operations: people + materials + schedule + reporting.

What you’ll do (real day-to-day)1) Daily planning + crew dispatch

Dispatch crews: who goes where, what scope they’re doing, priorities, and what “done” looks like

Split crews based on skill level, job complexity, and deadlines

Communicate with internal and external Project Managers and Safety Managers

2) Materials + tools coordination

Plan and coordinate material ordering, pickups, and deliveries to job sites

Stage and separate materials and tools per crew and per site (daily/weekly)

Maintain basic control of equipment usage and availability (rentals, in/out tracking)

3) Execution tracking + daily reporting

Confirm daily scope: planned vs. completed (by crew and by site)

Collect photos/notes, document issues, and send a daily operations report to management

Track key operational KPIs (productivity, rework, schedule adherence, crew utilization)

4) Project continuity

Solve problems that block production (missing info/materials, site constraints, scope changes, scheduling conflicts)

Coordinate with internal stakeholders and customers when needed to keep work moving and expectations clear

5) Quality

Help maintain jobsite quality standards to reduce rework

Complete daily inspections and report on work at project start, during execution, and at project closeout
