Construction General Manager

A Fresh Start. A New Standard. Your Market to Build.

Rice Companies Inc. spent the past year establishing our footprint in Fox Valley — and we learned a lot. Now we’re ready for the right leader to take this market where it was meant to go. We’re looking for someone who’s hungry to reset the tone, build trust, and elevate our reputation through execution that speaks for itself.

If you’re the kind of leader who thrives on challenge and building something real, this is your moment.

What You’ll Take Charge Of

• Relaunching and scaling our Wisconsin operations with a clean slate and full support
• Rebuilding key relationships and establishing a reputation for reliability, quality, and follow-through
• Leading and developing a high-performing team of PMs, Sales, Supers, and Field Crews
• Driving project execution, safety, quality, and profitability across all jobs
• Building a strong subcontractor and vendor network that trusts and respects our name
• Rolling up your sleeves when needed — because this role is about leadership

This isn’t maintenance mode. This is market transformation.

What You Bring

• 8–15\+ years in construction leadership (commercial or industrial, -- your call, as long as you’ve built metal buildings)
• A track record of taking ownership and delivering results
• The ability to lead from the front and the back—strategic when needed, boots-on-the-ground when it matters
• Strong financial instincts and the ability to read a job’s health instantly
• A reputation for being the person who gets things back on track — and keeps them there

Bonus points if you’ve launched a new region, division, or company before.

Your work will define our growth and long-term success in this region.
