Who We Need
Seedorff Masonry is searching for an Executive Level Leader with energy, enthusiasm and experience as we pursue our collective vision to Build Better. This individual will lead our team internally while simultaneously building relationships in a client-facing role. Our success is based on our four core values (see above). Underlying those values, we have rich traditions of technical knowledge and experience, organizational skills, teamwork, collaboration, and an awareness of how our work impacts those around us – both during construction with our clients and trade partners, and after construction with the impact that facilities have on the communities in which we live.

• General Contracting Experience of at least 10 years

• Proven track record of leadership
