About Enterprise Electrical
Enterprise Electrical (CMJ Technologies LLC) is one of the fastest-growing advanced technology electrical contractors in the United States. Headquartered in Houston, TX with offices in Austin and San Antonio and a 55,000-square-foot prefabrication facility, we partner with the country's leading general contractors and hyperscale developers to deliver mission-critical electrical infrastructure at scale. Our current portfolio spans hyperscale data centers, advanced manufacturing, cold storage, and large commercial electrical, and we are building toward $1B+ in annual revenue by 2032.
As we scale from approximately $85M and 600+ employees to a multi-hundred-million-dollar enterprise over the next several years, the demands on our people infrastructure will intensify dramatically. We need a leader who can build an HR function that matches the ambition of the business—one that attracts and retains elite talent, scales culture across hundreds of new employees and multiple geographies, and ensures our people experience is a competitive advantage rather than an afterthought.
OUR CORE PURPOSE AND VALUES
Core Purpose:
Building Relationships to Enrich Lives
Core Values:
- Committed to Excellence
- Plan It, Do It, Own It
- Learn It, Know It, Teach It
- One Team, One Goal
- Positive Attitude Required
- Safety First, Safety Always
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are looking for a Vice President of Human Resources to serve as Enterprise Electrical's chief people experience officer—the executive champion for our workforce, our culture, and our employer brand. This is not a compliance-and-administration role. It is a culture-building, talent-strategy, and organizational-scaling mandate.
The person who accepts this position will inherit three established and capable Directors—Talent Acquisition, Human Resources, and Training & Education—each of whom owns the tactical execution within their respective domain. This role does not replace that ownership. It elevates it. The VP will provide strategic direction, executive alignment, cross-functional coordination, and the leadership development support that allows each Director to operate at their highest level while ensuring the overall people function moves in lockstep with the company's growth trajectory.
Reporting directly to the President and serving as a member of the Senior Leadership Group, this executive will hold a seat at the leadership table and carry direct influence over organizational design, compensation strategy, workforce planning, and the employee experience across 600+ employees in multiple Texas markets—with that footprint expanding rapidly.
REPORTING STRUCTURE
The VP of Human Resources reports directly to the President and leads three Director-level direct reports. Each Director retains full tactical ownership of their function. The VP sets strategic direction, ensures alignment across all three pillars, removes obstacles, and represents the people function at the executive level.
VP of Human Resources
Strategic Direction | Executive Alignment | Cross-Functional Leadership
Director of Talent Acquisition
Tactical ownership of recruiting, sourcing, and hiring execution
Director of Human Resources
Tactical ownership of HR operations, compliance, benefits, and employee relations
Director of Training & Education
Tactical ownership of training programs, professional development, and field education
Key Responsibilities
Important note: The responsibilities below describe the VP's strategic and executive-level accountabilities. Day-to-day tactical execution within Talent Acquisition, Human Resources, and Training & Education remains with each respective Director. The VP's role is to set direction, ensure alignment with business strategy, develop each Director as a leader, and represent the people function to the Senior Leadership Group and the President.

- Provide executive-level support on critical and senior-level hires, including direct engagement with candidates for leadership and executive positions

- Provide executive sponsorship for Enterprise's leadership development programs, including structured career pathing, mentorship frameworks, and competency-based advancement for both field leadership and project management tracks
- Build succession planning processes for critical roles across the company, ensuring continuity and bench strength as the organization scales
- Ensure training and education investments are producing measurable returns in technical competence, safety performance, and leadership readiness—while the Director of Training & Education retains ownership of curriculum design, program delivery, and day-to-day execution
HR Operations, Compliance, and Infrastructure
- Provide strategic oversight of all core HR functions—employee relations, benefits administration, compensation, compliance, HRIS, and HR operations—in partnership with the Director of Human Resources, who retains tactical ownership of daily operations and execution
- Set the strategic direction for compensation structures, salary bands, and incentive programs that attract top talent while maintaining internal equity and financial discipline
- Ensure full compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws across all operating states, with particular attention to multi-state complexity as Enterprise expands geographically
- Drive benefits strategy at the executive level, ensuring Enterprise's offerings are competitive, cost-effective, and aligned with workforce needs
- Champion the development of HR analytics and reporting capabilities that provide the Senior Leadership Group with data-driven insights on workforce health, retention risk, hiring velocity, and engagement trends

Organizational Design and Change Management
- Partner with the President and Senior Leadership Group on organizational design decisions, including reporting structures, role definitions, and career ladders aligned to growth scenarios
- Lead change management initiatives tied to rapid growth, new market entry, acquisitions, or organizational restructuring
- Set the framework for HR policies, procedures, and best practices that ensure consistency, fairness, and scalability across all locations and divisions—with implementation managed by the Director of Human Resources
- Oversee performance management strategy, including goal-setting philosophy, review cadences, and accountability frameworks that drive results without bureaucracy
Director Development and Team Leadership
- Invest in the professional growth and leadership development of each Director, providing coaching, mentorship, and executive exposure that prepares them for increasing responsibility as the company scales
- Establish clear expectations, performance standards, and communication rhythms with each direct report to ensure alignment, accountability, and mutual trust

WHY ENTERPRISE ELECTRICAL
Enterprise is at an inflection point. We have built a project delivery reputation that rivals firms twice our size, a financial infrastructure that supports aggressive growth, and a leadership team that is genuinely invested in doing this the right way. What we need is a people leader who can match the pace of the business with the depth of the culture.
This role offers direct partnership with a President who believes that people strategy is business strategy, a seat at the Senior Leadership Group table for every major organizational decision, and the opportunity to shape how a high-growth electrical contractor treats, develops, and retains its most important asset—its people. You will inherit a team of capable Directors who are ready to be led, not managed, and your success will be measured by their growth as much as the company's.
If you want to build a world-class people function inside a company that is scaling fast, values relationships above all else, and believes culture is not a department but a competitive weapon, this is the opportunity.
