Nenni & Associates partnered with an Energy Solutions company to identify a Vice President of Construction. The company, a former client of Nenni & Associates, is a full-service energy efficiency contractor focused on large commercial and multi-site corporate clients, offering various technologies, including cogeneration, lighting, HVAC, and smart infrastructure.
For the VP role, the client sought a construction leader capable of quick project closeouts and the building out of a revamped operations team. A proven background containing comprehensive energy efficiency offerings was essential, and the candidate would need to be strict with timelines, accountable, and lead with authority. Other critical criteria included excellent character, an authoritative personality that could step into a messy situation and take charge, travel capabilities, and insights on leading/building a project management team.
Ryan McGushin and Jason McClean of Nenni & Associates joined forces to recruit top-tier candidates from the General Construction, Federal contracting, and ESCO industries. Five candidates were identified, and a finalist was chosen based on their past experiences that aligned with the company’s needs and the gritty mentality the client sought.
The candidate accepted the offer based on a strong salary, project-based incentive, cultural alignment, and a smaller team-based environment. They felt the company would allow them excellent opportunities and that their voice would be heard.
