ABOUT BERG COMPLIANCE SOLUTIONS

Berg Compliance Solutions (BCS) is an Austin-based environmental, health and safety (EHS) consulting firm that has served Texas manufacturers and general contractors for over 13 years. We don't just advise — we become our clients' EHS department, delivering on a critical goal: protecting their employees, the environment and businesses.

Our core belief: EHS compliance isn't just a regulatory burden — it's a competitive advantage. Through our proprietary processes and technology platform, we help manufacturers and contractors win more contracts, attract top talent, and build operational resilience. We back it with a bold guarantee: full OSHA, TCEQ, and EPA compliance within 12 months, with financial protection.

Our clients don't just hire us. They partner with us, often for years. That's by design.

We have aggressive plans to multiply the size of this business over the next five to seven years — driven by geographic expansion, new service lines, and our Apprentice EHS Training Program. We have the vision and the proven model. Now we need the operational leader to scale it.

THE MISSION

You are the bridge between Vision and Execution.

Our Founder has spent over a decade building the intellectual property, systems, processes, client relationships, and culture that define BCS. The operational infrastructure is largely in place — it now needs to be refined, finalized, and scaled.

As Director of Operations, you will be a key leader in running the operational engine of this company — the people, the processes, the projects, and the P&L — working in close partnership with the Founder. You are the person who turns the Founder's growth initiatives into operational reality, on time and on budget.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Operational Architecture → Refine and finalize BCS's existing proprietary processes into fully scalable SOPs, playbooks, and training systems. The foundation is built; your job is to sharpen it. → Lead and manage the operational infrastructure required to support aggressive, sustained growth — systems, workflows, technology, and quality controls, in partnership with the Founder.

People Leadership → Directly supervise the consulting team, including Senior Managing Consultants and a growing cohort of staff and apprentice-level consultants. → Lead hiring, onboarding, performance management, professional development, and accountability in conjunction with the Founder. → Champion BCS culture: Fun Vigilance, Fanatic Discipline, Accountability, and Over & Above Effort. → Manage and track utilization targets (85% billable), client satisfaction scores (90%+), and delivery of our 12-month compliance guarantee to every client.

Growth Execution → Partner with the Founder to translate strategic vision into quarterly and annual operating plans with clear milestones and measurable outcomes. → Drive implementation of the roadmap for market expansion, new service line launches, and technology investments, in close collaboration with the Founder.

Financial Stewardship → Manage the P&L with a focus on improving margins, controlling costs, and driving profitable growth. → Monitor project margins, billable utilization, and contract renewals. Find the leaks and plug them.

Operational Filter for the Founder → Serve as the first line of decision-making on day-to-day operational issues, team management, and problem-solving — so the Founder stays focused on high-leverage activities.
