GENERAL MANAGER – HART PASSIVATION

POSITION SUMMARY
Hart Passivation, a division of Hart Companies, provides specialized chemical cleaning, passivation, mechanical polishing, electro-polishing, and related services primarily to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, life sciences, and other high-purity process industries.

The General Manager will work closely with and shadow the current Vice President to develop a comprehensive understanding of Hart Passivation's technical processes, customers, estimating practices, and operations.

Strong candidates may come from pharmaceutical/biotech process systems, high-purity piping, specialty chemical services, industrial field services, mechanical contracting, or other technically complex service environments.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Provide overall leadership and accountability for Hart Passivation's business performance, operations, personnel, safety, customer service, and continued growth.

  • Ensure projects are properly planned, staffed, supported, and completed safely, efficiently, and in accordance with customer requirements.
  • Maintain oversight of safety, regulatory compliance, quality standards, and operational performance.
  • Conduct and/or oversee project site surveys, estimating, pricing, proposals, and project planning.
  • Monitor project costs, margins, workload, staffing needs, and overall financial and operational performance.
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with existing customers and serve as a senior point of contact for key accounts.
  • Lead sales, business development, and growth initiatives while identifying opportunities to expand customer relationships and services.
  • Identify and support improvements to business processes, technology, documentation, and organizational efficiency.
  • Lead employee development, performance management, workforce planning, and succession planning in partnership with the Operations Manager and Hart Companies leadership.
  • Maintain appropriate involvement in field activities and customer sites to develop and retain a practical understanding of Hart Passivation's work.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • A minimum of 10-15 years of leadership experience in a technically complex field-service, specialty contracting, industrial services, mechanical contracting, process systems, construction, or related environment.
  • Demonstrated experience leading people, projects, customers, and business operations.
  • Strong business and financial judgment with an understanding of estimating, project costs, pricing, margins, and profitability.
  • Ability and willingness to learn Hart Passivation's specialized technical processes and regulated customer requirements.
  • Strong leadership, communication, organization, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to develop strong relationships with employees, customers, vendors, and business partners.
  • Willingness to travel to customer locations and maintain visibility in both office and field environments.
  • Valid driver's license and acceptable driving record.
Preferred Experience
Experience in one or more of the following is highly desirable:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Construction Management, Business, Operations Management, or a related field preferred; equivalent industry leadership experience may be considered.
  • Pharmaceutical or biotechnology manufacturing
  • Passivation or chemical cleaning
  • High-purity process piping or utilities
  • Specialty chemical or industrial field services
  • Mechanical/process piping contracting
  • Life sciences construction, commissioning, or validation
IDEAL LEADERSHIP PROFILE
The successful candidate will be a hands-on, commercially minded leader who is technically curious, comfortable working with field personnel and customers, and capable of learning a highly specialized business. This individual should be able to lead through others, developing and supporting the Operations Manager and field leadership team while maintaining accountability for overall business performance.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
