Dorner Contracting
Salary: $70,000 to $85,000+ annually, with performance based compensation
Build More Than Projects. Help Build the Company.
Dorner Contracting is looking for an experienced Construction Operations Manager to lead our day to day field operations and become a key leader within our growing company.
This is not an entry level management position, and it is not a role for someone whose experience has been primarily behind a desk. We're looking for a construction professional who understands how projects are built and can confidently lead crews, solve problems, and ensure every project is completed to a high standard.
This position is designed to take ownership of the owner's day to day operational responsibilities, allowing the company to continue growing while maintaining the quality and reputation we've built.
If you're looking for a career where your decisions matter, your performance is rewarded, and you have the opportunity to help shape the future of a growing business, we'd like to meet you.
About the Role
This is a hybrid leadership position that combines field supervision with office based operations management.
Your time will be split between visiting active job sites, supporting crews in the field, and working from our office to coordinate projects, schedules, materials, equipment, and daily operations.
You will become the primary point of contact for field issues while ensuring projects are planned, organized, and executed efficiently. You'll be trusted to make decisions, solve problems, and keep projects moving without constant oversight.
You'll work closely with our Administrative Coordinator, who will support the day to day administrative functions of the business. This allows you to focus on leading operations, managing projects, supporting field crews, and delivering successful projects.
This role is intended to become the operational leader of the company, working directly alongside the owner to help drive Dorner Contracting forward.
What You'll Do
- Visit and oversee multiple active job sites
- Lead, mentor, and support field crews
- Ensure work is completed according to plans, specifications, and company standards
- Perform site layout and verify measurements before construction begins
- Coordinate daily crew schedules and project priorities
- Plan upcoming work and ensure materials, equipment, and labour are available
- Identify and resolve issues before they impact project timelines
- Maintain communication with clients, suppliers, and the owner
- Complete project documentation and reporting
- Ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently, on schedule, and with exceptional quality
Types of Projects
Our work includes a wide variety of outdoor construction projects, including:
- Municipal playground installations
- Parks and recreation projects
- Shade structures
- Site furnishings
- Wood pergolas
- Fencing
- Commercial site improvements
- General municipal construction
Every project is different, and every day brings new challenges.
Who We're Looking For
The ideal candidate has:
- A strong background in construction
- Experience leading crews or managing construction projects
- The ability to read and interpret construction drawings
- Experience performing site layout
- Strong organizational and time management skills
- Excellent problem solving and decision making abilities
- The confidence to work independently and take ownership
- Strong communication and leadership skills
- A valid driver's licence
Most importantly, we're looking for someone who doesn't wait to be told what to do. We want someone who takes initiative, solves problems, supports their team, and treats the business like it's their own.
Compensation
This position offers a competitive base salary between $70,000 and $85,000, depending on experience and qualifications.
In addition, compensation will include a performance based incentive tied directly to the success and growth of the company. As Dorner Contracting grows, your earning potential grows with it.
Additional Benefits:
- Dental Benefits
- Company Truck
- Company Phone
We're looking for someone who wants more than just a job. We're looking for someone who wants to build a long term career and play a significant role in the future of our company.
Why Join Dorner Contracting?

This is an opportunity to take ownership, lead a great team, work on meaningful projects throughout the community, and grow into one of the most important leadership roles within the business.
