    "description": "<h2>About Us</h2>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Crux Subsurface, a subsidiary of Quanta Services, Inc. (NYSE: PWR), is a geotechnical drilling company merging innovation with experience to consistently provide accurate data and efficient, constructible solutions to projects of any size.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p>Our multidisciplinary team combines the expertise of structural and geotechnical engineers with experienced drillers, construction managers, geologists, and quality management specialists.</p>\n<h2>About this Role</h2>\n<p>The Operations Manager is a senior field execution role responsible for driving daily productivity, crew deployment, and operational discipline across Crux Subsurface's active project portfolio. Reporting directly to the Vice President of Field Operations, this position owns the day-to-day rhythm of the field — ensuring Construction Managers and Superintendents have the resources, direction, and accountability structures they need to hit production targets safely and on budget. This is a hands-on leadership role. Crux operates in demanding, technical environments — drilled shafts, micropiles, ground anchors, soil nailing, and helicopter-supported operations across transmission and energy corridors in the US and Canada. The Operations Manager must be comfortable in the field, credible with craft workers and foremen, and capable of translating project plans into executable daily work without constant VP oversight. The right candidate brings deep construction operations experience, a bias for execution over analysis, and the personal credibility to lead from the front while building the systems that allow the field to run without bottlenecks.</p>\n<p> </p>\n<p><strong>Salary: $185,000+ DOE</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Medical, Dental, Vision, Prescription Coverage, HSA/FSA, Short-Term Disability, Long-Term Disability, Basic Life Insurance, EAP, Voluntary Benefits, and Identity Theft Protection. Benefits are offered with a shared premium cost between employer and employee. </strong></p>\n<p><strong>401k and Roth contribution with company match eligibility.</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Vacation and Sick Leave accrue in accordance with company policies.</strong></p>\n<h2>What You'll Do</h2>\n<p><strong>Field Execution & Daily Operations</strong></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Serve as the VP Field Operations' primary operational arm in the field — ensure Construction Managers and Superintendents are executing against approved work plans, resource assignments, and productivity targets</li>\n <li>Conduct regular site visits across the active project portfolio; identify execution gaps, resource constraints, and safety conditions requiring intervention before they escalate</li>\n <li>Own the look-ahead planning cycle at the field execution level — confirm crew readiness, equipment availability, and material delivery alignment for the upcoming two-week window</li>\n <li>Identify and resolve operational bottlenecks — whether crew, equipment, access, or logistics — without routing every issue through the VP</li>\n <li>Support Construction Managers on complex or high-risk work sequences, providing on-the-ground judgment on sequencing, temporary works, and crew deployment decisions</li>\n</ul>\n<p> </p>\n<p><strong>Crew Deployment & Labor Management</strong></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Coordinate craft labor allocation across projects in partnership with VP Field Operations and Construction Managers — ensure crews are deployed to the highest-priority, highest-impact work</li>\n <li>Maintain field staffing visibility across all active jobs;

ensure field corrections translate into durable behavior change, not paperwork compliance</li>\n <li>Support quality control oversight in partnership with the Engineering Director and Quality function, confirming field execution meets Crux technical standards</li>\n</ul>\n<p> </p>\n<p><strong>Equipment & Resource Coordination</strong></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Serve as the field-level coordination point for Fleet — confirm equipment assignments match field needs, flag maintenance issues early, and ensure equipment downtime is managed proactively</li>\n <li>Coordinate with Supply Chain on material delivery timing, site storage logistics, and procurement escalations that are affecting field productivity</li>\n <li>Identify equipment utilization gaps and make recommendations to the VP Field Operations on redeployment or fleet planning decisions</li>\n</ul>\n<p> </p>\n<p><strong>Reporting & Accountability</strong></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Provide the VP Field Operations with clear, timely field intelligence — production performance, crew status, safety observations, equipment conditions, and escalating risks; no surprises</li>\n <li>Participate in the VP Bi-Weekly Operations Meeting and other portfolio review cadences with current, accurate field data — come prepared with status, not just updates</li>\n <li>Support HeavyJob cost and production entry discipline in the field; Construction Managers and Superintendents should be entering accurate daily data — Operations Manager reinforces this standard</li>\n <li>Contribute to field-level lessons learned and corrective action documentation that improves Crux execution standards over time</li>\n</ul>\n<p> </p>\n<p><strong>Leadership Development</strong></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Mentors Construction Managers and Superintendents on field problem-solving, crew management, and client interaction</li>\n <li>Provides structured performance feedback to field leadership;
