Job Summary

The Vice President of Operations will serve as the key operational leader for a growing design-build residential modular home manufacturing company. Reporting directly to the CEO and COO, the VPO will oversee all day-to-day general management functions including architecture, engineering, factory operations, supply chain, production, quality control, and on-site installation processes.

This is a hands-on executive role that requires deep experience in both residential construction and manufacturing (ideally modular, prefab, manufactured housing, or off-site construction). The ideal candidate will drive operational excellence, scale production capacity, ensure high-quality modular homes that meet California building codes (including Title 24 energy standards, CALGreen, and local regulations), control costs, and deliver projects on time and within budget.

This is a critical leadership position responsible for turning strategic vision into efficient, profitable execution in a fast-paced modular housing environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead all manufacturing and operational functions, including factory production, assembly lines, quality assurance, inventory management, and logistics for modular home components.
  • Oversee the full end-to-end process: design coordination, material procurement, factory build, transportation, and on-site installation/assembly of residential modular homes.
  • Develop and implement scalable operational systems, processes, and KPIs to increase production throughput, reduce cycle times, and improve efficiency in a modular factory setting.
  • Manage P&L responsibility for operations, working closely with the CFO to control costs, optimize margins, and improve profitability.
  • Ensure full compliance with California building codes, Title 24 energy efficiency standards, CALGreen, seismic requirements, and all local San Diego County/City permitting and inspection processes.
  • Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing team across design, production, engineering, supply chain, safety, and field installation.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives, including lean manufacturing principles, automation opportunities, and quality control systems tailored to modular construction.
  • Coordinate with sales, design, and development teams to align production capacity with customer demand and project pipelines.
  • Manage vendor relationships, supply chain risks, and strategic sourcing of materials suited for modular residential construction.
  • Champion safety programs, workplace culture, and employee development while maintaining a strong safety record in both factory and field environments.
  • Support strategic growth initiatives, including factory expansion, new product lines (e.g., single-family modular homes, multi-family modules, construction tech R&D), and geographic expansion.
  • Provide regular operational reports, performance metrics, and recommendations to the CEO and executive team.

Requirements

Qualifications and Requirements

  • Experience: 10–15+ years of progressive leadership in residential construction and manufacturing, with significant hands-on experience in manufactured, modular, prefabricated, or off-site home production. Prior COO, VP of Operations, or Plant Manager experience in a factory environment is preferred but not required.
  • Proven success in scaling construction or manufacturing operations, improving efficiency, and delivering high-volume residential projects on time and on budget.
  • Deep knowledge of residential construction methods, building codes, and California-specific regulations (Title 24, CALGreen, San Diego permitting processes).
  • Strong background in lean manufacturing, process optimization, and quality systems (Six Sigma or similar experience a plus).
  • Demonstrated P&L management and financial acumen in a construction or manufacturing setting.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Engineering, Operations, Business Administration, or a related field (MBA or advanced degree preferred).
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills with the ability to thrive in a dynamic, entrepreneurial environment.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Direct experience with modular or factory-built residential homes (single-family, ADUs, or multifamily modules).
  • Familiarity with the California housing market, land development, and entitlement processes.
  • Experience implementing technology solutions in manufacturing (ERP systems, production software, BIM integration).
  • Track record of building high-performing teams and fostering a culture of safety, quality, and continuous improvement.

Benefits

What We Offer

  • Competitive executive compensation package, including base salary, performance bonus, equity participation, employee discount, pension, and benefits.
  • Opportunity to play a pivotal role in addressing California’s housing crisis through innovative modular construction.
  • Direct impact on scaling a mission-driven company in the growing prefab/modular sector.
  • San Diego-based (on-site/factory environment focus).
